1. Subject-The subject is the object of the predicate, indicating "what" or "who". Generally, it is acted by nouns, pronouns, infinitives or words or phrases equivalent to nouns. It's at the beginning of the sentence.
Note: when the infinitive is the subject, the formal subject is often used.
2. Predicate-state the subject "what to do", "what to be" or "how to be".
Predicate (the subject of the predicate part) must use verbs. Predicate and subject must agree in person and number. It comes after the subject.
3. Predicative? Predicate describes the subject "what" or "how", which is acted by nouns, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, infinitives and words or phrases equivalent to nouns or adjectives. Its position is after the copula.
* Pay attention to the difference: My job is teaching. (Teaching is predicative) And I am teaching now. Am teaching is the predicate.
4. Object-Object is the object of action and behavior, which is acted by nouns, pronouns, infinitives or words and phrases equivalent to nouns. Together with transitive verbs, it explains what the subject does after the predicate.
5. Adverbial-Adverbial is used to modify verbs, adjectives or adverbs. Generally, it indicates the time, place, purpose, way and degree of behavior, and is generally expressed by adverbs, prepositional phrases, infinitives or words or phrases equivalent to adverbs. Adverbials are usually placed at the end of sentences, but some can be placed at the beginning and in sentences.
6. Attributive-Attributive is used to modify nouns or pronouns. Adjectives, pronouns, numerals, nouns, prepositional phrases, infinitives or words or phrases equivalent to adjectives can all be used as attributes. Because it modifies nouns or pronouns, and nouns and pronouns can be used as subjects, predications and objects, the position of attributes is very flexible. Where there are nouns and pronouns, there are attributes.
