How to find the subject of a sentence

advertisement
How to find the Subject:
1. First find the verb. Then ask “Who or What?”
2. Watch for inverted sentence order. ( That means the subject does not have
to come first in a sentence).
Example: Over the river and through the woods to grandmother’s house we
go. The subject is “we.”
3. Change a question into a statement. Then find the subject and the verb.
4. “Here” and “There” can never be subjects.
5. Look for the understood “you.”
6. A subject can never be found in a prepositional phrase. Memorize the
prepositions.
