What Is a Subject?
In grammar, a subject is the part of a sentence or clause that indicates who or what the sentence is about. It is typically the person, place, thing, or idea performing the action or being described.
Key Points About Subjects:
- The subject usually comes before the verb in a sentence.
- It can be a noun (e.g., dog, teacher), a pronoun (e.g., he, she, they), or a noun phrase (e.g., the tall building).
- The subject answers the question: "Who?" or "What?" before the verb.
Examples:
-
She runs every morning.
(Who runs? She — subject) -
The cat is sleeping on the sofa.
(What is sleeping? The cat — subject) -
Running is good exercise.
(What is good exercise? Running — subject)
