A simple subject can be more than one word, even an entire clause. 4. In English, the subject of a command, order, or suggestion - you, the person being directed is usually left out of the sentence and is said to be the understood subject.e.g. 1. You step lively there, or Ill leave you behind. 2. Before assembling the swing set, you read these instructions carefully.5. For purposes of sentence analysis, the doer or the initiator of action in a sentence is referred to as the agent of the sentence. In an active sentence, the subject is the agent.e.g. 1. The Johnsons added a double garage to their house. 2. The jury returned a verdict of manslaughter.6. In a passive sentence, the agent is not the subject. In fact,sometimes a passive sentence willnot contain an agent. e.g. 1. The deans report was reviewed by the faculty senate. 2. Three cities in the countrys interior were bombed.AI thank you.BI never heard of it.CIt looks like it.DIt sounds like common sense to me.EIt serves him right.7. In familiar speech, the subject is sometimes left out when it is a pronoun. We call it omission of the subject.In spoken English we often hear sentences like this:AThank you.BNever heard of it.CLooks like it.DSounds like common sense to me.EServes him right. Underline the subject in these sentences. In groups, check your answers. Then discuss whether you agree with the ideas in the sentences or not.1 Everything that we do is a step in one direction or another. Even the failure to do something is in itself a deed.
