You see that in these sentences there are two parts. The parts are the
_+Subject+_ and the _+Predicate+_.

+DEFINITION.--The _Subject of a sentence_ names that of which something is
thought+.

+DEFINITION.--The _Predicate of a sentence_ tells what is thought+.

+DEFINITION.--The _Analysis of a sentence_ is the separation of it into its
parts+.

Analyze, according to the model, the following sentences.

+Model+.--_Stars twinkle_. This is a _sentence_, because it expresses a
thought. _Stars_ is the _subject_, because it names that of which something
is thought; _twinkle_ is the _predicate_, because it tells what is thought.

+To the Teacher+.--After the pupils become familiar with the definitions,
the "Models" may be varied, and some of the reasons maybe made specific;
as, "_Plants_ names the things we tell about; _droop_ tells what plants
do," etc.

Guard against needless repetition.
