Ms. Sue is correct and she's given you some excellent websites.
Remember that almost all subjects are either nouns or pronouns, but once in a great while a gerund phrase or an infinitive phrase or a relative clause can serve as a subject. Those are rare, but they do happen.

Notice the 1st example.
http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/phrases.htm#infinitive
Notice the 3rd and 4th examples.

Scroll down until you see the section on NOUN CLAUSES -- there are examples there.
