What the verb and subject does in a sentence?

Here's a breakdown of what the verb and subject do in a sentence:

The Subject:

* Who or what is performing the action? The subject is the noun or pronoun that the sentence is about. It's the "doer" of the action.

* Examples:

* The cat chased the mouse. (The cat is the subject)

* She baked a delicious cake. (She is the subject)

The Verb:

* What is the action being performed? The verb describes the action or state of being of the subject.

* Examples:

* The cat chased the mouse. (Chased is the verb)

* She baked a delicious cake. (Baked is the verb)

Together, the subject and verb form the core of a sentence. They tell us who or what is doing something, and what that something is.

A simple way to think about it:

* The subject is the "who" or "what"

* The verb is the "doing" or "being"

Here's an example that brings it all together:

* The playful puppy (subject) barks (verb) loudly.
