In most sonatas, there are two themes that occur, the first and second subject. These are played and sometimes repeated. Following that there is a section of developement, in which both themes are changed and fused in various ways. Following that is the recapitulation, where the themes are repeated, often with minor variation. A perfect example of this kind of sonata is Schubert's Unfinished symphony, mvt 1.
This said, smaller chamber music sonatas have been known to only have one subject, and romantic music sucha as that of Dvorak often had three or more subjects.

the conflict of tonalities between the first and second themes.
What is in the middle of a sonata form where contrasting themes and keys are introduced?
development of themes
What does recapitulation mean in music?
recapitulation: emergence during embryonic development of various characters or structures that appeared during the evolutionary history of the strain or species; (music) the section of a composition or movement (especially in sonata form) in which musical themes that were introduced earlier are repeated; a summary at the end that repeats the substance of a longer discussion; (music) the repetition of themes introduced earlier (especially when one is composing the final part of a movement)
What is an essential characteristic of the sonata form?
1. A tonal plan that involves a) establishing a main tonality, b) building up tension by introducing one or more new tonalities, c) dissolving this tension by bringing the music back to and concluding it in its original tonality. a) and b) constitute the first part of the sonata movement, c) the second. 2. A sonata movement often opens with a bold statement of a theme, melody, or group of distinct motives, which help to establish the original tonality. New tonalities, then, get often marked by the introduction of new, and often contrasting, themes. The process of dissolution of tonal tension, accordingly, can be "staged" by the composer as a conflict and reconciliation between themes. The underlying process, however, is about tonalities.
What is a difference between sonata and sonata allegro form?
