The subject of a sentence is the person, place, thing, or idea that is performing the action or being described. It tells us who or what the sentence is about.
Key points about the subject:
- It usually comes before the verb.
- It can be a noun (e.g., dog , Mary), a pronoun (e.g., he , they), or a noun phrase.
- The subject agrees with the verb in number (singular or plural).
Example sentences:
-
The cat sleeps on the sofa.
(The subject is "The cat") -
She is reading a book.
(The subject is "She") -
Running every day helps improve health.
(The subject is the gerund phrase "Running every day")
