Kinds of Sentences
Normally, a sentence expresses a relationship, conveys a command, voices a question, or describes someone or something. It begins with a capital letter and ends with a period, question mark, or exclamation mark.
The basic parts of a sentence are the subject and the predicate. The subject is usually a noun - a word that names a person, place, or thing. The predicate (or verb) usually follows the subject and identifies an action or a state of being. See if you can identify the subject and the predicate in each of the following short sentences:
•The hawk soars.
•The widows weep.
•My daughter is a wrestler.
•The wrestlers are tired.
In each of these sentences, the subject is a noun: hawk, widows, daughter, and children. The verbs in the first two sentences – soars, weep – show action and answer the question, "What does the subject do?" The verbs in the last two sentences – is, are – are called linking verbs because they link the subject with a word that renames it (wrestler) or describes it (tired).

subject (I, you, she, he, etc.):
You 're going à Are you going?
He has gone à Has he gone?
• Questions are formed for the present simple and past simple by using do,
does, or did:
They work here. Do they work here?
She lived here. Did she live here?
