predicate example the flower using

Uttara 13th Jul, 2021

Your question seems incomplete but to explain in general a predicate is used to tell us something about the subject. The subject is the part of a sentence which tells if an object is a person or thing.

Here, 'the flower' is a subject. Its predicate can be 'is in the garden'. So the full sentence could be that-The flower is in the garden.

I was gone or I had gone which is correct and if then why ?

Rajashree Khandelia 6th Oct, 2019

Hello Soumya Singh Verma

‘I was gone’ emphasises the state of having gone and that ‘I had gone' emphasises the act of going.  In 'I was gone', 'gone' has the role of an adjective.

'I was gone' is grammatically incorrect. In English, you can say either 'I was gone' or 'I was home' but not 'I was gone home'. This is because the verb was followed by either home or gone represents the place where the speaker is. That is, the speaker was somewhere. To say was gone home incorrectly uses was.

The second sentence is in correct simple past perfect form, and is grammatical.

Hope it helps you.
