She is/ does/has

Answer 2

verb
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.

Answer 3

The subject tells who did the verb. If I said "Run" I would have to have a subject because someone has to do the running. Sometimes, the subject is not written, but it still exists. In the sentence "Go!", The subject is "You" understood, which means that someone is telling another person to do the verb.

Answer 4

I subject is typically the noun in the sentence that the sentence is about. It's the thing that does the verb in the sentence.

Ex: The duck walked up to the lemonade stand.

Lemonade stand is a noun but it is not doing the verb, "walked." Hence it being crossed out to not make any confusion. ;)
