What are the simple subject and complete subject?

Let's break down simple subjects and complete subjects:

Simple Subject

* Definition: The main noun or pronoun that performs the action of the verb.

* Example: In the sentence "The cat chased the mouse," the simple subject is "cat."

Complete Subject

* Definition: The simple subject along with any modifiers (words that describe or give more information about the subject).

* Example: In the sentence "The fluffy, white cat chased the mouse," the complete subject is "the fluffy, white cat" because it includes the modifiers "fluffy" and "white" which describe the cat.

Here are some more examples:

* Sentence: The tall, green tree swayed in the wind.

* Simple subject: tree

* Complete subject: The tall, green tree

* Sentence: She will bake a cake.

* Simple subject: She

* Complete subject: She

* Sentence: The sun peeked through the clouds.

* Simple subject: sun

* Complete subject: The sun

Remember: The complete subject always includes the simple subject, while the simple subject is the core noun or pronoun performing the action.
