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"

Answered by Ms. Sue
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.
