A sentence has three basic components: subject, verb and object. The subject is the word which is considered as the 'doer' in the sentence.

The subject is generally a noun or a pronoun in nominative case or base form of the noun whereas the object can also be a noun or pronoun, but may change its form in some cases. For example, in the sentence,"Cow gives milk", 'Cow' is the proper noun and the subject of the sentence, 'gives' is the verb which shows the action, and 'milk' is again a proper noun and the object in the sentence that receives the 'action'.
