What states ehat the subject does is or has in a sentence?

Answer 1

A verb can do all three. eg The boy plays footballThe boy is a good player The boy has a red shirt And there are other possibilities too: "John, you clean up that mess!" The verb is still the verb, even in John never does what he is told. "Will Margaret help me with my math homework?" Margaret is not acting, the verb isn't saying anything about what Margaret is, and it says nothing about what Margaret has.

The subject is the main thing being talked about in the sentence. It is always a noun/pronoun. It always does the action in the sentence, otherwise known as the verb. The subject can be common or proper, singular or plural.

Example sentences:

"The young man ran the long marathon." Man is the simple subject in that sentence.

"The phone's keyboard was acting up." Keyboard is the simple subject in that sentence.

"The papers blew across the room." Papers is the simple subject in that sentence.

*Note: Simple subject is a term referring strictly to the subject. The complete subject is everything before the predicate/verb.
