O que é Sujeito e Predicado?

Summary

This educational video explains the concepts of subject and predicate in a sentence. It discusses how the subject identifies who or what is being talked about, while the predicate provides information about the subject. The video covers various types of subjects (simple, compound, hidden, indeterminate, and nonexistent) and predicates (verbal, nominal, and verbal-nominal). Through examples, the video also demonstrates how the order of subject and predicate can vary in a sentence. Viewers are encouraged to practice and apply their understanding through exercises and interactive content, helping them grasp the fundamentals of sentence structure.

Takeaways

• 😀 Subject and predicate are the essential components of a sentence, with the subject representing who or what the sentence is about, and the predicate conveying the action or information about the subject.
• 😀 A sentence must contain a verb or verbal phrase, but it doesn't necessarily have to convey a complete thought.
• 😀 The subject can be simple (one core noun) or compound (more than one noun), and it may also be hidden or implied in the sentence.
• 😀 In sentences, the subject can appear in three forms: direct (subject before predicate), inverse (subject after predicate), or mixed (subject in the middle of the predicate).
• 😀 The subject can also be classified as determined (explicitly identified), indeterminate (not identified), or nonexistent (in sentences with impersonal verbs).
• 😀 A subject can be simple, compound, or concealed (identified only through context or verb conjugation).
• 😀 Predicates can be verbal (indicating action), nominal (indicating state or quality), or verb-nominal (both action and state).
• 😀 The core of the predicate is a verb in verbal predicates, a noun or adjective in nominal predicates, and both in verb-nominal predicates.
• 😀 To identify the subject and predicate in a sentence, asking 'who' or 'what' for the subject and 'what was done' for the predicate helps clarify the structure.
• 😀 The script emphasizes understanding the role of subjects and predicates in sentence structure and encourages practicing these concepts with examples and exercises.

Q & A

What are the essential elements of a sentence in Portuguese grammar?

In Portuguese grammar, the essential elements of a sentence are the subject (sujeito) and the predicate (predicado). A sentence must contain at least one verb or verbal phrase.

What is the role of the subject in a sentence?

The subject is the term that indicates who or what the sentence is about. It is the person, thing, or concept performing or receiving the action expressed by the verb.

How can you identify the subject and predicate in a sentence?

The subject can be identified by asking 'Who or what is the sentence about?' and the predicate answers 'What is being said about the subject?' For example, in 'The students organized the event,' the subject is 'the students' and the predicate is 'organized the event.'

What does it mean for a subject to be 'determined'?

A determined subject is one that is clearly identified in the sentence, such as 'the students' or 'the king.' It is specified and known.

What is the difference between a simple and a compound subject?

A simple subject contains only one core word (the main noun), whereas a compound subject contains more than one core word. For example, 'the teacher' is a simple subject, while 'the teacher and the student' is a compound subject.

What is an 'oculto' (hidden) subject?

An 'oculto' subject is one that is not explicitly stated but understood from the context, often through verb conjugation. For example, in 'We walked all afternoon,' the subject 'we' is implied but not directly stated.

Can a subject be 'indeterminado' (indeterminate)?

Yes, an indeterminate subject occurs when the subject is not identified in the sentence, such as in the sentence 'People are talking about it.' Here, 'people' is not specified.

What are the three main types of predicates in Portuguese?

The three main types of predicates in Portuguese are: 1) Verbal Predicate, which expresses an action (e.g., 'I entered the room'), 2) Nominal Predicate, which expresses a state or condition (e.g., 'The king was angry'), and 3) Verbo-Nominal Predicate, which combines action and state (e.g., 'I ran and was tired').

What is the difference between a 'verbal' and a 'nominal' predicate?

A verbal predicate is centered around a verb that expresses an action (e.g., 'The cat ran'). A nominal predicate focuses on a state or condition and is typically linked to a noun or adjective (e.g., 'The king was happy').

How can we identify a subject when it is not explicitly mentioned?

When the subject is not explicitly mentioned, it can often be inferred from the context or by the verb's conjugation. In Portuguese, verb conjugation can indicate the subject (e.g., 'We walked' implies 'We' as the subject, even though it is not stated).
