Fire-away Sentence Examples

Imagine someone asked you, “What is the subject of a sentence?” How would you define it? We know three things are generally required to create a complete sentence: subject + verb + direct object. But, what are they exactly?

The subject of the sentence is the noun that is doing or being something. The verb is carrying out the action or linking the subject to further information. And the direct object is receiving the action of the verb.

None of this could exist without the subject of the sentence. So, let’s talk a little bit more about the place where every sentence starts.
