What is a complete subject?

A complete subject is the part of a sentence that tells who or what is performing the action of the verb. It includes the noun or pronoun that is the main focus of the sentence, along with any modifiers that describe or qualify it.

Here's a breakdown:

* Noun or pronoun: This is the core of the subject. For example: "The dog," "She," "My favorite book."

* Modifiers: These are words that provide more information about the noun or pronoun. They can include adjectives, adverbs, prepositional phrases, and other descriptive elements. For example: "The fluffy dog," "She with the red hair," "My favorite mystery book."

Examples:

* The fluffy dog chased its tail.

* Complete subject: The fluffy dog

* Noun: dog

* Modifier: fluffy

* She with the red hair smiled brightly.

* Complete subject: She with the red hair

* Pronoun: She

* Modifier: with the red hair

* My favorite mystery book is on the shelf.

* Complete subject: My favorite mystery book

* Noun: book

* Modifiers: my favorite, mystery

Identifying the complete subject:

To find the complete subject, ask yourself: Who or what is doing the verb? The answer will be the complete subject.
