Complete and Simple Subjects
A sentence is formed by a subject and a predicate.
The subject of a sentence names the person or thing the sentence is about.
The complete subject includes all the words that name the person or thing the sentence is about.
The simple subject is the main noun or pronoun in the complete subject. There are times in which the complete subject and the simple subject are the same.
