Here's why:
* Subject-Verb Agreement: Sentences are built around a core structure of subject-verb agreement. The subject tells us who or what is performing the action, and the verb describes the action.
* Clarity and Meaning: A subject provides context and clarity to the sentence. It identifies the entity performing the action, making it easier to understand who or what is being discussed.
Examples:
* Complete Sentence: The cat slept peacefully on the couch. (Subject: cat, Verb: slept)
* Imperative Sentence: Go to the store. (No explicit subject; the implied subject is "you")
Important Note: Imperative sentences (commands or requests) often omit the subject because it is understood to be "you."
