A sentence is a group of words containing a verb and its subject and

A sentence always begins with a capital letter and ends with a mark of
punctuation.
In order to express a complete thought, every sentence must have two parts
– the subject and the predicate.

A. The Subject
The subject of a sentence is that part about which something is said. In the
following sentences, the subjects are in heavy type.
1. The eager quarterback shouted the signals.
2. Ricky reminded me of the game tonight.

To find the subject of a sentence, ask yourself Who…? or What…? Suppose you
want to find the subject of this sentence: The huge plane rolled slowly out of the
hangar onto the runway. Ask yourself, What rolled? The answer is, The huge plane
rolled. The plane is the subject of the sentence.
