Breaking down simple sentence: Take me home.
Sorry for the simple question:
with:
Take me home.
Take - verb
me - direct object
home - modifies Take
Is this correct?
Form the different types of sentences: Declarative, Interrogative, Exclamatory, Imperative, Conditional, this would be an imperative. If I have it right, it doesn't have a subject. Does the simplest definition of an imperative sentence not include a subject?
From the little reading I've done, I was under the impression that a sentence should have subject and verb, minimum. An independent clause can act as a sentence because it has both... But then you can have one word sentences like: Enough!
I'm a little confused.
Thanks for any help,
Rudy

Hi Rudy, and welcome to English Forums.
In an imperative sentence, the subject is implied as "you." (You) bring me home.
Something like "Enough!" isn't a complete sentence. It's an exclamation. It means "I've had enough." Many types of exclamatory statements don't have a subject/verb. "What a hit!" "Great!" "Oh, you guys!"
