An imperative sentence is one where the subject is left out completely

Subject – Predicate
When we make a sentence, we usually do it, to name a person or thing
To say something about that person or thing.
We must have a SUBJECT to speak about and PREDICATE something about the subject.
Subject – Predicate
Hence every sentence has 2 parts.
The part which names the person or thing we are speaking about called the SUBJECT of the sentence
The part which tells something about the subject called the PREDICATE of the sentence.
The subject usually comes before the predicate
For Example:
The early bird catches the worm.
The school bus has arrived.
A sick room should be well aired.
Delhi is the capital of India.
Occasionally the subject may came later as
Here comes the bus. The bus being the Subject. You will notice that Subject is usually a noun or pronoun & the Predicate is a verb
