A.      SUBJECT
Subjects tell us who or what performs the action in a sentence. Without them, sentences aren’t really sentences; they’re fragments. Subjects are either simple or complete, depending on whether they do or do not include modifiers. In English grammar, the subject is the part of a sentence or clause that commonly indicates “what it is about”, or “who or what performs the action” (that is, the agent).
The subject is typically a noun, a noun phrase, or a pronoun. The subject pronouns are I, you, he, she, it, we, they, who, and whoever. In a declarative sentence, the subject usually appears before the verb.
For example (subjects shaded):
1.      Andrio drinks juice.
(Andrio  is the subject of the sentence. Andrio is the subject of the main verb drink,  Andrio is doing the action.)
2.      Luna usually eats fish.
(Luna is the subject of the sentence. Luna is the subject of the main verb eat, Luna is being described.)
3.      Alvin is study.
(Alvin is the subject of the sentence. Alvin is the subject of the main verb study)
The subject of a sentence is one of the basic parts of a sentence. The other basic part is the predicate. The predicate tells us something about the subject (i.e., it tells us what action the subject is performing, or it describes the subject). Every sentence must have a verb, and every verb must have a subject.  In an interrogative sentence, the subject usually follows the first part of a verb. In an imperative sentence, the subject is commonly said to be.
The subject of a sentence will be a noun or a pronoun (including all the modifiers that go with it). For example:
a.       Simple subject
1.      Luna puts a lot of condiment in his food.
2.      Cappuccino is my favorite coffee.
3.      My sister  is visiting my mother this week.
b.      Complete Subject
1.      The school vocalist is performing tomorrow night.
2.      My brother will be arrive in indonesia today.
3.      My favorite blue dress got a  my name on it.
c.       Compound Subject
1.      Luna and Andrio ride a motorcycle in roadway.
2.      Doraemon and Mickey Mouse is my favorite movie.
3.      Black and White are my two favorite color.

B.       VERB
A verb is one of the main parts of a sentence or question in English. In fact, you can’t have a sentence or a question without a verb! That’s how important these “action” parts of speech are. The verb signals an action, an occurence, or a state of being. whether an occurence, or a state of being. whether mental, physical, or mechanical, verbs always express activity.
a.    Physical Verbs
Physical verbs are action verbs. They describe specific physical actions. If you can create a motion with your body or use a tool to complete an action, the word you use to describe it is most likely a physical verb. Physical Verb Examples :
1.      Let’s run to the holiday and back.
2.      I hear the airplane coming.
3.      Call me when you’re finished with presentation.
b.    Mental Verbs
Mental verbs have meanings that are related to concepts such as discovering, understanding, thinking, or planning. In general, a mental verb refers to a cognitive state. Mental Verb Examples:
1.      I know the answer.
2.      I am recognized they from across the room.
3.      Do you believe me tell you?
c.    States of Being Verbs
Also known as linking verbs, state of being verbs describe conditions or situations that exist. State of being verbs are inactive since no action is being performed. These verbs are usually complemented by adjectives. States of Being Verb Examples:
1.      I am a degree candidate.
2.      I am a vocalist.
3.      My father is a pilot.
d.   Types of Verbs
How many types of verbs are there? In addition to the main categories of physical verbs, mental verbs, and state of being verbs, there are several other types of verbs. In fact, there are more than ten different types of verbs that are grouped by function.
1.      Luna eats chicken noodle.
2.      We are moved a home.
3.      Andrio bought some drinks yesterday.

C.       COMPLEMENT
Complements are words that come after linking verbs and modify nouns. The most common noun complements are adjectives and nouns, but can be many other parts of speech as well. Complement is the term used for a word (or words) which are needed to complete the meaning of an expression.
Most phrases and clauses will include a complement of some kind. If you can't remove it from your sentence, then it's likely to be a complement. This is how complements differ from adjuncts. Adjuncts are optional as they are usually just descriptive. Complements are not optional. They are essential to ensure understanding. For examples :
1.      Me and my sister is beautiful.
2.      My brother becomes a engineer.
3.      We were in a plane.

Example of sentence containing Subject, Verb, and Complement:
1.      Me and family watch a movie in the cinema.
2.      Andrio go to campus by train at seven o’clock.
3.      Luna wearing a Blue dress at her graduation.
