Active voice
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.
Ms. Hale is the simple subject. The subject of a sentence is who performs the action of the verb.
The subject is "my cat" and there is no action verb. The linking verb is "is" (to be).
The subject is often near the start of a sentence: it is the thing or person that the sentence is about, and for an action verb, it is the thing or person performing the action. The verb is the action or state described in the sentence: what the subject does or is.
The active voice of a verb occurs in a sentence where the subject ('doer') of the action of the verb is also the grammatical subject of the verb. For example 'The boy ate the sandwich.' Here 'the boy' performs the action of eating, and is also the subject of the verb 'ate'. In contrast, the passive voice occurs where the doer of the action of the verb is the grammatical object of the verb. For example 'The sandwich was eaten by the boy.' Here 'the boy' still performs the action of eating, but 'the sandwich' is the subject of the verb 'was eaten'. 'My mother always does the washing up.' (Active) 'The washing up is always done by my mother.' (Passive)
The subject can be a who or what
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 subject is the noun that performs the action (verb) of the sentence. An object in a sentence is the noun that the action is performed upon. Example: I wrote a book. "I" is the subject; "wrote" is the verb; "book" is the object.

In contrast, the passive voice occurs where the doer of the action of the verb is the grammatical object of the verb. For example 'The sandwich was eaten by the boy.' Here 'the boy' still performs the action of eating, but 'the sandwich' is the subject of the verb 'was eaten'. 'My mother always does the washing up.' (Active) 'The washing up is always done by my mother.' (Passive)
The sentence in which the verb is a linking verb uses the verb to connect the subject of the verb to more information about the subject. The linking verb will not express an action.
In language, active voice refers to a sentence structure where the subject of the sentence performs the action of the verb. It emphasizes the doer of the action, making the sentence more direct and straightforward. For example, "She wrote the letter" is in active voice, with "she" as the subject performing the action of writing the letter.
The subject is the one doing the action or what the sentence is about. Examples: She is going to the store. (She is the subject). I am hungry. (I would be the subject). The action that takes place in a sentence is the verb.
