What part of a sentence is known?

It's a bit tricky to answer "what part of a sentence is known" without more context. "Known" can refer to a few different things in a sentence:

1. Known Information: If you're asking about information that is already established or understood, it could be:

* The subject: The subject of a sentence is the person, place, or thing performing the action. If we already know who or what the subject is, that information is "known."

* Example: "The dog" (subject) chased the ball.

* The verb: The verb describes the action or state of being. If the action is already established, the verb is "known."

* Example: The dog "chased" the ball.

* An object: The object is the person, place, or thing receiving the action of the verb. If we already know what the object is, it's "known."

* Example: The dog chased "the ball" (object).

2. Known Words: If you're asking about parts of speech, "known" might refer to:

* A noun: A noun names a person, place, thing, or idea. If a noun is mentioned previously, it's "known."

* Example: "The dog was brown. The dog chased the ball."

* A pronoun: A pronoun replaces a noun to avoid repetition. A pronoun is "known" because it refers to a previously mentioned noun.

* Example: "The dog was brown. It chased the ball."

To give you a more accurate answer, please provide more context! For example:

* What is the sentence you're referring to?

* Are you asking about the grammatical function of a word or phrase?

* Are you asking about information that is already understood?
