GAELIC TEXTS FOR SCHOOLS.
THE SIMPLE SENTENCE.
All our reasonable speech is made up of short
statements called Sentences.
A Sentence is the expression in words of a com-
plete thought.
The simplest Sentence consists of two essential
parts — Subject and Predicate.
The Subject in the Sentence is the thing spoken of.
The Predicate is what is said about the Subject.
Exercise I
Eead the following aloud, and translate exactly into
English.
Distinguish the Subject and the Predicate in each
Sentence.
