A sentence describes an event of some kind, and the subject noun is the person, place, or thing, that is doing the action that the sentence describes.
For example, in the sentence, "John ate lunch." John is the subject, ate is the verb, and lunch is the object.
A subject noun functions as the subject of a sentence or a clause.
A subject noun also functions as a predicate nominative, a noun following a linking verb that restates the subject.
Examples:
- The picnic will be on Saturday. (subject of the sentence is the noun 'picnic', what the sentence is about)
- The picnic that mother is planning will be on saturday. (subject of the relative clause is the noun 'mother', the clause relates information about the subject noun 'picnic')
- The picnic will be a luau. (the predicate nominative is the noun 'luau' which restates the subject noun 'picnic')
