Character or Object in a Sentence
Predicate (P)
Predicate (P) is a part of a sentence that tells what action or in what condition the subject (actor / character or object in a sentence). In addition to notifying the subject's actions or actions (S), P can also state the nature, situation, status, characteristics, or identity of S. including P as a sentence is a statement about the amount of something possessed by S. predicate can also be a word or phrase, most are classy verbs or adjectives, but can also be numerals, nouns or nominal phrases. Consider the following example:
Dog
Mother is taking a nap.
His beautiful daughter.
The city of Jakarta is safe.
My cat is striped three.
Robby new student.
Pak Hartawan's house
The words in bold in the sentence above are the P. sniff words in sentence (a) to tell the dog's actions. The word group is taking a nap in sentence (b) telling the mother what to do, beautiful in sentence (c) telling how her daughter, in a safe condition in sentence (d) telling the situation of the city of Jakarta, striped three in sentence (e) telling the character of my cat, new students in sentence (f) tell Robby's status, and five in sentence (g) tell the number of Pak Hartawan's house.
The following are examples of sentences that do not have P because no words refer to the actions, characteristics, circumstances, characteristics, or status of the perpetrators or objects.
My fat, cute sister.
Our office is located at Jln. Gatot Subroto.
Bandung is a famous flower city.
Although examples (a), (b), (c) are written exactly as normal sentences are, which start with a capital letter and end with a period, but in it there is not a single word that functions as P. There is no answer to the question of doing what is the fat little brother (actor) in example (a), there is no answer to the question of why or what's wrong with the offices on Jalan Gatot Subroto and Bandung famous as the flower city in examples (b) and (c).
because there is no information about actions, traits, or other things required by P, the examples (a), (b), (c) do not contain P. Therefore, the series of words that are long enough in example (a), (b), (c) it is not yet a sentence, but only a group of words or phrases.
Object (O)
Object (O) is the sentence part that completes P. The object is generally filled with nouns, nominal phrases, or clauses. Location O is always behind P in the form of transitive verbs, that is, verbs that require the presence of O, as in the example below.
Nurul peted ...
The architect designed ...
Frying cooks ...
Transitive verbs pet, design, and fry in this example is P that demands to be completed. The elements that will complete P in the three sentences are called objects.
If P is filled with intransitive verbs, O is not needed. That is why the nature of O in the sentence is said not to be present. The intransitive verb shower, damaged, returned home which became P in the following example does not demand to be equipped.
Grandma take a shower.
My computer is broken.
The guest is home.
The object in the active sentence can change to S if the sentence is passive. Consider the following example sentence whose O is located behind and change its position if the sentence is passive.
