The Subject is the thing that does the action(action verb) or is identified(linking verb).

THE SUBJECT The main word or group of words that tells whom or what the sentence is about is called the simple subject.Example: Mary likes to eat pizza on Tuesdays. Mary is the simple subject as the sentence is about her. Complete subject consists of the simple subject and any words, phrases, or clauses that modify the simple subject.Example: Out of the beaker rose a foul-smelling foam.

HOW DO YOU FIND IT?To identify the subject, find the verb and ask “who” or what?”

Ex: Here you can swim year-round.Verb: can swimWho can swim?Subject: You
