It depends on the sentence but in general, it is usually the subject that does the action.
Example:
The red cat lounged on the warm patio.
The red cat (subject) does the action (lounged)
Sometimes, however, the actual "subject" in a sentence is hidden (like when it is written in passive voice).
Example:
The revisions were completed.
The subject of this sentence, grammatically, is "revisions" so you could say that the revisions did the action (were completed).
You could add onto that sentence and make it clearer, however.
Example:
The revisions were completed by unknown bystanders.
In this sentence, even though "revisions" is still grammatically the subject, you could say that "unknown bystanders," which is the direct object, does the action in the sentence.
Really, if you are reading a sentence and you are unsure of who or what is doing the action in the sentence, just ask yourself "who?"
Example:
The red cat lounged on the warm patio. (who lounged? the red cat)
The revisions were completed by unknown bystanders. (who revised? unknown bystanders)
The revisions were completed. (what was completed? the revisions)
The action in a sentence is a verb.
The subject is who is doing the action. In the sentence "She threw the ball" "She" is the subject, because she is throwing the ball. The action is the throwing of the ball. The ball is the object, because it is what is being thrown.
It depends on how it is being used. In the sentence, "Jake poked the dog," it is not a noun, it is a verb as it is the action that Jake is doing. However, in a sentence like, "Poked is a word," it is a noun, as Poked it is taking the action of being a word.

I take this question to mean: what do you call that part of a sentence which receives the action of the verb? If the sentence is in the active voice, it is the object that receives the action of the verb: 'My mother was stroking her cat' ('her cat' is the object of the verb 'was stroking', and is also the recipient of the action of stroking). If the sentence is in the passive voice, it is the subject that receives the action of the verb: 'The cat was being stroked by my mother' ('the cat' is the subject of the verb 'was being stroked', and is also the recipient of the action of stroking).
There is no direct object in that sentence. Felt is being used as a linking verb, not an action verb. The verb must be an action to take a direct object.
False. The subject of a sentence is the person, place, thing, or idea that is being talked about or performing the action in the sentence. The action is typically carried out by the verb.
The subject is typically at the beginning of a sentence, performing the action or being described in the sentence.
A verb is a word that expresses an action, occurrence, or state of being in a sentence. It is an essential element that conveys the action of the subject or links the subject to further information in the sentence.
The subject is who is doing the action. In the sentence "She threw the ball" "She" is the subject, because she is throwing the ball. The action is the throwing of the ball. The ball is the object, because it is what is being thrown.
The verb in the sentence is "appears." It is the action being described in the sentence.
It depends on how it is being used. In the sentence, "Jake poked the dog," it is not a noun, it is a verb as it is the action that Jake is doing. However, in a sentence like, "Poked is a word," it is a noun, as Poked it is taking the action of being a word.

A verb is an action verb if it is something that is happening, and that has some effect; for example, in the sentence "I walk to the store," walk is an action verb because the subject, I, is performing a task. In the sentence, "I am at the store," am is a being verb because it describes a state of being; the subject, I, IS as the store.
The adverb is ahead, and modifies the infinitive "to plan."To help you find the adverb, remember that an adverb tells how, when, where or to what degree an action is done. Think what is the action being done in this sentence - what are you being asked to do here? Then ask how, when, where is the action supposed to be done.
The purpose of a verb is to express an action, occurrence, or state of being in a sentence. Verbs are essential for conveying information about what is happening in a sentence and are often the main component that drives the meaning of the sentence.
A verb is a word that describes an action (doing) or a state of being (being) within a sentence.Verbs are the essential component of a sentence that convey the action or state expressed by the subject.
