Question
How do I know what the simple subject of the sentence is and the complete subject?
Answers
Ms. Sue
To find the subject, ask who or what is doing the action.
The simple subject is almost always one word. The complete subject is the simple subject plus the words that describe it.
Examples:
Simple <u>subject</u> is underlined.
<b>Complete subject</b> is bold faced.
<i>Verb</i> is italicized.
<b>The <u>dog</u> across the street</b> always <i>chases</i> our cat.
<b><u>One</u> of my sisters</b> <i>is going</i> to Mexico for Spring Break.
<b><u>Carolyn</u> and <u>Pat</u></b> <i>have been</i> good friends for years.
