Subject in SVO

 What is a Subject?

In a sentence, the subject is the person, animal, place, thing, or idea that does the action.

It is usually found at the beginning of the sentence.

The subject answers the question:

“Who?” or “What?” is doing the action?

Examples:

Tom eats a sandwich.

(Who eats? → Tom is the subject)

The cat chases the mouse.

(What chases? → The cat is the subject)

My friends love music.

(Who loves? → My friends is the subject)

She is reading a book.

(Who is reading? → She is the subject)

Types of Subjects:

1. Noun as a Subject

Example: The dog barks loudly.

2. Pronoun as a Subject

Example: He runs every morning.

3. Compound Subject (two or more nouns/pronouns)

Example: Tom and Jerry play outside.

Key Points:

The subject is always a noun or pronoun (or a group of them).

It tells us who or what is doing the verb.

In English, the subject comes before the verb in normal sentences.

I

You

He / She / It

We

They

Example:

We like pizza.

It runs fast.
