What is the subject mean in sentences?

The subject of a sentence is the person, place, thing, or idea that performs the action or is described. It's the main focus of the sentence.

Here's how to find the subject:

* Ask "who?" or "what?" The answer to this question will be the subject.

* Example: *The dog* barked. (Who barked? The dog.)

* Look for the verb (the action word). The subject usually comes before the verb.

* Example: The *sun* shines brightly. (The verb is "shines," and the subject is "sun.")

Here are some examples:

* The cat is sleeping on the couch. (The subject is "cat.")

* The students are studying for their exam. (The subject is "students.")

* The city is very crowded. (The subject is "city.")

* The rain is falling softly. (The subject is "rain.")

* He loves to eat pizza. (The subject is "he.")

Important Note:

* The subject can be singular or plural.

* The subject can be a pronoun (like "I," "you," "he," "she," "it," "we," "they").

* The subject can be a noun phrase (a group of words that act like a noun).

Understanding the subject is essential for forming grammatically correct sentences. It helps you understand the meaning of the sentence and how the different parts work together.
