The subject is the principal part of a two-member sentence which is grammatically independent of the other parts of the sentence and of which the second principal part (the predicate) is grammatically dependent, i.e. in most cases it agrees with the subject in number and person.

The subject can be expressed by:

1. a noun

· a noun in the common case, e.g. The sea is calm tonight. Anna sings beautifully.

· a noun in the possessive case, e.g. Anna’ s was the best voice of all.

· a noun group, Paul and Vera are my best friends. The blue of the sky showed that it was morning already.

2. a substantivized adjective, e.g. The old and the young must be helped by the society.

3. a numeral, e.g.

· Thirteen is my favourite number. (cardinal numeral)

· The third was our bus. (ordinal numeral)

4. a pronoun

· a personal pronoun, e.g. She is my sister. We were really happy.

· a possessive pronoun in its absolute form, e.g. Theirs was a happy marriage.

· an indefinite pronoun, e.g. Anyone can do it, it’s easy. One can’t be always in a good mood.

· a demonstrative pronoun, e.g. That was not true.

· a negative pronoun, e.g. No one knew the truth.

· an interrogative pronoun, e.g. Who has been sitting on my chair and has broken it?

· a detaching pronoun, e.g. The other is better.

· a universal pronoun, e.g. All is well that ends well.

5. an infinitive or an infinitive phrase, e.g. To live is to love. To forgive that was impossible.

6. a gerund or a gerundial phrase, e.g. Seeing is believing. Sleeping all the time is wasting your life.

7. dummy subjects ‘it’ and ‘there ’, e.g. It is never late to learn. There is many a slip between the cup and the lip.

8. a quotation, e.g. ‘Daddy’ is one of Danielle Steel’s romantic novels.

9. a subject clause, e.g. What is done cannot be undone.
