It can take any form. The form is not decided by action but by the tense you are writing in.
present tense -- He eats his lunch at 12:30.
past tense -- Today he ate his lunch at 1:00.
future tense -- Tomorrow he is eating his lunch in the park.
In these sentences the same action is referred to - eat - but the action takes place in the present, past or future

A complete sentence must have a subject and a what?
Because with out a subject we would not know who/what does the action (verb). Look at this sentence: The boy ate the cake. - We know the boy does the action of eat. Ate the cake. - In this sentence something is missing we don't know who or what does the action so the sentence does not make sense. Sometimes sentences do not have subjects these are called imperative sentences. They are used for commands exclamations and warnings. But the subject is implied, it is you. Sit down, stand up, look out, catch! (You) sit down. (You) stand up. (You)catch.

The answer, the object of the blame is: us, especially you and me. A subject (I, you and I) in a sentence is the person doing the action. In this sentence, the doer of the action is "she," thus making the other pronouns the objects.
