The subject is the thing or person who is doing the action or being talked about.
The simple subject is one word, a noun or pronoun. A proper noun, like San Francisco is considered one word.
The complete subject is the simple subject plus the words that describe or modify it.
Consider these examples. The <u>complete subject</u> is underlined. The <b>simple subject</b> is boldfaced.
<u><b>Grand Canyon</b></u> is a spectacular sight.
<u>The blonde <b>girl</b> in the red dress</u> ordered a huge steak for dinner.
<u><b>One</b> of my friends</u> is going to Australia this summer.
<u>This homework help <b>site</b></u> helps many struggling students.
Do <u><b>you</b></u> know French?
<u>Educated </b>people</b> with college degrees</u> usually have higher paying jobs.
