This section is about imperatives, or commands/requests. They are like Latin sentences in that you have a verb but no written subject. This site shows how you diagram imperatives. Once you understand this it is simple, but do remember that when the sentence says "Give me the gun" , GUN is NOT the subject -- it is the direct object.
Imperative sentences always have an understood but not stated you as the subject. Examples: Hand it in now. (You) hand it in now. Stop. (You) stop.
Instructions: Find the subject and predicate (verb) in the following sentences.
1. Give me the gun!
2. Help me please.
3. Bring me the paper.
4. Lock the car door always.
5. Run next door for some sugar.
