Subject and Verbs

A Subject is the noun or pronoun that performs the verb.


A Verb is a word that shows action (runs, hits, slides) or state of being (is, are, was, were, am, and so on).

Rules in Finding subject and verbs

Rule 1.If a verb follows to, it is called an infinitive phrase and is not the main verb. You will find the main verb either before or after the infinitive phrase.

Examples: I like to walk. The efforts to get her elected succeeded.

Rule 2

Rule 2.A subject will come before a phrase beginning with of.

Example: A bouquet of yellow roses will lend color and fragrance to the room.

Rule 3.

To find the subject and verb, always find the verb first. Then ask who or what performed the verb.

Examples: The jet engine passed inspection. Passed is the verb. Who or what passed? The engine, so engine is the subject. If you included the word jet as the subject, lightning will not strike you. Technically, jet is an adjective here and is part of what is known as the complete subject.

Rule 4

Any request or command such as "Stop!" or "Walk quickly." has the understood subject you because if we ask who is to stop or walk quickly, the answer must be you.

Example: (You) Please bring me some coffee. Bring is the verb. Who is to do the bringing? You understood

Rule 5

Sentences often have more than one subject, more than one verb, or pairs of subjects and verbs.
Examples: I like cake and he likes ice cream. Two pairs of subjects and verbsHe and I like cake. Two subjects and one verb
