What is true of all predicates?

English
1 answer:
Vika [28.1K]3 years ago
4 0

A lot of things can be said about the predicate: that it contains the complements of the subject, that it is the set of words to add sense to the subject, that it adds meaning to the whole sentence, that it is essential for a sentence to have a meaning, that it contains the action done in the sentence, etc. but what it is always true of all predicates is that there is no meaning in a sentence without a predicate.

Analize this simple sentence:

My mother <u>works in a bank.</u>

subject + <u>predicate</u>

if we separate the subject and the predicate and state them alone, which one conveys more meaning and therefore is more important?

if we say "my mother." we say practically nothing and we cannot imagine what could be next in meaning.

but if we say "<u>works in a bank"</u> we can guess who the subject is and then guess the whole meaning of the sentence.

In great literature, no scene of violence exists for its own sake. Choose a work of literary merit that confronts the reader or
Wittaler [7]

Answer and Explanation:

There is a scene in "Hamlet" that presents a shocking moment of violence that shapes the rest of the story and presents an important point of the main character.

This scene occurs when Prince Hamlet, disgusted by the news that his marriage to his uncle, goes to his mother's room to find out about it. Arriving there, he and his mother start an intense discussion and it is at that moment that Shakespeare, finds a spy behind the curtains of the room. Thinking that he is his uncle, Hamlet stabs the spy who falls dead, revealing his identity, which, to everyone's surprise, was not Hamlet's uncle, but the father of the woman Hamlet loved.

This moment of violence, serves to shape the character of emotional lack of control that Hamlet presents, in addition to making him a character disliked by others, provoking Ophelia's madness and the distrust of Claudius, Hamlet's uncle and the villain of the story.
