🔑 Key Concepts & Definitions

• Sentence (Rečenica): A unit of speech or writing that expresses an idea or message, consisting of one or more interconnected words.
• Word (Riječ): The basic unit of language, which can function independently or as part of a sentence.
• Sentence Parts (Rečenični dijelovi): Components of a sentence that serve specific grammatical functions, such as subject or predicate.
• Predicate (Predikat): The essential part of a sentence that expresses the action or state; not a type of word but a grammatical function, marked as P.
• Verb (Glagol): The word class that typically expresses the predicate, indicating action, occurrence, or state, with features like person, number, tense, and mood.
• Simple vs. Compound Sentences: A simple sentence contains one predicate; a compound sentence contains two or more predicates.
