How to find the Subject

Expert replies

Hi Friends,

I am finding it difficult to find out the exact subject of the sentences. What is the procudure you would follow to find Subject? If it is a simple sentence, I can say that who performs action is the Subject. But its becoming difficult with longer sentences.

Please help me!!

Are there any good resources which have exercises on finding Subject, object, verb? What is the normal way to find the subject in a sentence?

You could try any grammar book like Wren & Martin English grammar, Doing grammar by Max Morenburg.

Or the best thing is to search the internet. You have lots of exercises.

Finding the main subject/main verb pair can be a really helpful first step in attacking SC questions! Another way to approach this process is to work backwards and mentally eliminate the elements of a sentence that you know CANNOT contain the subject. The GMAT will intentionally give you long, complicated sentences with lots of phrases and clauses to make it harder for you to identify the core structure. If you can clear away some of this "junk" (elements of a sentence not contributing to the S-V-O structure), subject-verb errors will become much more clear. For example, the following phrases will never contain the subject of a sentence:

- Prepositional phrases
- Adjective clauses that begin with relative pronouns
- Introductory modifiers/participial phrases
- Phrases that are set off by commas or dashes

By mentally crossing off elements like these, you can avoid distractions and start to strip the sentence down to its subject-verb-object structure. This can be an especially helpful strategy when dealing with inverted sentence structure or unusual subjects like noun phrases.

Thanks very much for your inputs Jen.. Will follow that approach from now on..
