Subject and Object

Finley

The subject of a sentence will normally be a noun, pronoun or noun phrase.

We would expect the subject to go before the verb and the subject is generally what the sentence is about.

An object will also normally be a noun, pronoun or noun phrase.

Objects typically come after the verb and are affected by the verb.

A subject can affect the form of its verb.

For example,

  • I am
  • You are
  • He/she is

Remember, we can leave out the subject if the sentence is a command.
