Grammar glossary: what words do

The three main parts of a sentence are the subject, verb and object.

There are three main parts to a sentence. These three parts are called the subject, the verb, and the object. In a sentence, the subject is the person of thing that does the verb. The verb tells you what action happens.
The object is the person or thing that the verb is done to.

A short sentence may have only a subject and a verb.

  Subject Verb
  Albert wakes up.
  They are eating.
  The tide was rising.
  The fog lifted.

 

These sentences are very short, but they are real sentences. They have a subject and a verb, and so they make sense.
