At this website, you can choose from the list on the left for the topic(s) you need to learn about.
I'll give you an example, using this sentence:
Three little old ladies met for tea.
The simple subject is "ladies" but the subject phrase -- also known as the complete subject -- is "Three little old ladies"

The subject is the noun or pronoun that is doing the action.
Examples:
<u>Joe</u> volunteered to help the baseball team.
<u>The most magnificent sight in the world</u> is the Grand Canyon.
A subject phrase is a gerund or infinitive phrase that tells what is doing the action.
<u>Winning eight gold medals</u> was his dream.
