The dog ate the meat.
This is a simple sentence. The verb is ate. If you ask the question who (or what) ate the meat? The answer is the dog so the dog is the subject of the sentence.
Another example:
The boy's parents, who live in Australia, write to him every week.
It is not so easy to see the verb in this sentence but it is write. So ask the question who or what writes? the answer is the boy's parents so the boy's parents is the subject. Some people call this the complete subject or you could say parents is the simple subject.
