A sentence should always have a subject. Sometimes, we have two sentences together, for example: "I am happy because she gave me her chocolates". As there are two sentences, we need two subjects.

In the sentences above, there are two that are missing a subject. Choose the two sentences that need a subject.

• It makes me feel sad because it is about a woman that is angry.

• He is sad because lost a person of his family.

• This song makes me feel angry because it makes me think a lot.

We need a subject after 'because'.

- He is sad because HE lost a person of his family

- This song makes me feel scared because IT has a very tense rhythm

• True

• Did you _____ to do the shopping?

• _____ to save your work often, just in case your computer crashes.

• Please _____ me to post this letter.

- Did you remember to do the shopping? --> the person is asking if you didn't forget to do the shopping.

- Remember to save your work often, just in case your computer crashes. --> the person is saying that you should not forget to save your work often

We have to remember that if the subject is in singular, the verb needs to be in singular too. So, for example, if we have as a subject 'He', the verb 'have' needs to be in singular: 'has' --> 'He HAS a very nice voice' (not 'He have a very nice voice').
