3. The statement. The sentence. Parts of a sentence

elev, patru, harnic, lecție, clasă, am înțeles
student, four, diligent, lesson, class, understood
You certainly didn’t understand anything of this line of words. It is happening because I have put the
words in a randomly line without taking into account the relationship between them. But if we are going to
order the words to form a sentence, the message transmitted will become clear.
Harnicii elevi din clasa a patra au înțeles lecția.
The diligent fourth graders understood the lesson.
We have formulated a sentence by choosing the right form of words and placing them in a logical
order. But once it is taken from the dictionary and put into the sentence, the words acquired roles, like actors
in a play.
Let’s draw a parallel between a child and a word.
Anyone who sees will say that it is child no matter where they are and what they do.

But at home he is the son of his parents, at school he is a student, in a bus he is a traveler, at the theatre
- spectator, that is, he performs different roles in different situations.
Likewise, about the word school, for example, we know that it is as part of speech, noun. But when we
use it in sentences, it performs different roles.
Practice

1. Check the sentence in which the noun vară - summer is subject.
• La vară voi merge în tabără.
• I’ll go to camp in the summer.
• Merele de vară s-au copt.
• Summer apples have ripened.
• Vara este anotimpul meu preferat.
• Summer is my favorite season.
• A sosit vara.
• A has arrived.

Between the words of a sentence, certain relationship
is established and it is called syntactic relations and the role of
the word in the sentence is called syntactic function. By now
you have learned the two of the syntactic functions that parts
of speech can perform: subject and predicate. You have learned
that they are the main parts of the sentence and a sentence that
is made up only of a subject and a predicate is a simple sentence.
Any sentence necessarily has a predicate and the subject can be
expressed or unexpressed.
Învăț.
Learning.

predicate
unexpressed subject (Cine învață? Eu)
(Who’slearning? Me)
