Sentences without subject and predicate

A 非主谓句 (fēi zhǔwèi jù) does not divide into subject and predicate; it consists of a single word or a short phrase.

Sentences of this kind are especially common in speech.

What makes them distinctive

In these sentences the usual shape:

Subject + predicate

— is not required.

A single word or short phrase already carries the full meaning.
(Xià)()(le)
It's raining. / It has started raining.
(xià)()rain
(le)marks a new situation

This sentence has no separate subject.

(Xià)(xuě)(le)
It's snowing. / It has started snowing.
(xià)(xuě)snow
(le)marks the change of state
(Shàng)()(le)
Class has started.
(shàng)()have class
(le)marks the new state beginning
(Zhēn)(piào)(liang)
So beautiful!
(zhēn)really
(piào)(liang)beautiful

This sentence consists of nothing but an adjectival phrase.

(Duì)(bu)()
Sorry!

This is a set expression; it needs no subject or predicate.

(Méi)(guān)(xi)
It's okay!

It too stands as a sentence of its own in everyday conversation.

The rule in short

非主谓句 = a sentence that does not divide into subject and predicate

Such sentences may express:

a natural phenomenon; a new situation; an emotional reaction; a set spoken expression.

Examples:

(Xià)()(le)
It's raining.
(Zhēn)(piào)(liang)
So beautiful!
(Duì)(bu)()
Sorry!
(Méi)(guān)(xi)
It's okay!
