Elon Musk's Journey to Mars

 Elon Musk’s Journey to Mars     My name is Elon Musk and I helped create PayPal and then Tesla.” NASA turns to the private sector to resupply the International Space Station. “I recently helped create the SpaceX. The reason I got into this space exploration was that it didn’t seem to me that we’ve been making the progress that we should make given the fact that we could get to the moon in 1969. In fact, it seemed like we were going backward.” Three, two, one, and liftoff of the Space x Falcon 9 rocket. “I thought it was important that we ultimately be on a path towards creating a self-sustaining civilization on Mars. And NASA awarded us one of three contracts to upgrade our capability to human transport.” What we’re looking at here is Dragon Spacecraft Pressure Vessel. “And I like working on engineering and design.

 Subject and Predicate

1- Subject  

The part of the sentence that  names the person or thing we are speaking about is called the subject of the sentence.


2- Predicate

The part of the sentence which tells something about the Subject is called the predicate of the sentence.




* The subject usually comes first in a sentence, but occasionally it is put after the predicate.

* In imperative sentences the subject is not given directly but it is present in the sentence.

Example : Sit down.
 In the above sentence, we cannot see any subject but the subject is in the sentence.
So when we talk about someone or something ,we are actually talking about the subject of the sentence.
In the sentence, Sit down command is given to a second person by the first person.
The subject is You is understood.



First Person / Second Person/Third Person

First/Second/Third Person are categories of grammar to classify verb and pronoun forms.

First Person: The first person indicates the speaker. (the person who is speaking)

Second Person: The second person indicates the addressee. (the person to which first person is talking to)

Third Person:  The third indicates the third party individual other than the speaker. (may be about which first and second person are talking )

Let's make it clear with some Examples :

If 'I' am talking to 'You' about 'him/her' then, "I" is the first person.
    "You" is the second person.
    "him/her" is the third person. 

Example :  
  1.   First Person - I / We : 
  • I prefer cold coffee to hot tea. (singular)
  • We prefer pizza to noodles. (plural)
Me / Us:
  • Ria embarrassed me. (singular)
  • Rinku embarrassed us.(plural)
My / Ours:
  •  The coat is mine. (singular)
  • The coat is ours. (plural)
My / Our:
  • That is my book. (singular)
  • That is our book. (plural)
     2. Second Person- You:
  • You prefer cold coffee to hot tea.
Yours:
  • The coat is yours.
Your:
  • That is your hat.
Note : In the examples above 'You' can be an individual (singular) or plural.
  
      3. Third Person - He/She/It/They : 
  •  He prefers cold coffee to tea. (Third person 'He' , singular)
  • They prefer cold coffee to tea . (Third person 'They' , Plural)
him/her/It/them : 
  • Rinku embarrassed her. (Third person 'her' , singular)
  • Rinku embarrassed them. (Third person 'them' , plural)
his/hers/its/theirs :
  • The coat is theirs. ( Third person 'theirs' , plural)
  • That is their hat. 

 Coming back to Subject and Predicate ,

Let's do more examples to understand them better : 

Here the underlined one is the subject , the rest is Predicate. 
  • The cackling of geese saved Rome.
  • He has a good memory.
  • New Delhi is the capital of India.
  • All roads  lead to Rome.
  • Bad habits grow unconsciously. 
  • Edison invented the phonograph.
