Best Answer

The main noun (or pronoun) that is the subject of the sentence is called the simple subject.

The subject noun and any words modifying it form a noun phrase called the 'complete' subject.

Example:

The newsstand on 3rd Street attracts many customers every day.

  • The simple subject is 'newsstand', the complete subject is 'the newsstand on 3rd Street'.
