Identify the subject of a sentence

key notes:

What is a Subject?

The subject is who or what the sentence is about. 🧑🐶🍎

Example:

• The dog 🐶 runs fast. → Who runs fast? The dog! → Subject = The dog

How to Find the Subject:

• Ask yourself: “Who or what is doing something?” 🤔
• Look at the verb (the action) and see who is doing it.
• That is your subject! ✅

Example:

• Mom 👩 cooks dinner. → Who cooks? Mom → Subject = Mom
• The apple 🍎 is red. → What is red? Apple → Subject = Apple

Subjects Can Be:

• A person 👩👨
• An animal 🐶🐱
• A thing 🍎🚗📚
• A group of people or things 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🏫

Example:

• The children 👧👦 play in the park. → Subject = The children
