In grammar, the 'subject' of a sentence is the person or thing that does the action of the verb. In English, the subject is usually before the verb. A subject is an important component of a 'clause', which we'll look at shortly. A subject is typically a noun (e.g. 'woman'), pronoun (e.g. 'she'), or noun phrase (e.g. "the tall woman"). Match the following:
What is the role of the word 'saw' in the sentence, "I saw a large white cat."
Object
What is a term to describe the phrase "a large white cat"?
Noun phrase
What kind of word is 'I'?
Verb
What is the role of the word 'I' in the sentence, "I saw a large white cat"?
Pronoun
What is the role of the phrase "a large white cat" in the sentence, "I saw a large white cat"?

So if a subject comes before a verb, what comes after one? Often, an 'object', a person or thing that the verb is done to. In the sentence, "She hit the red ball" the subject ('she') has done something to the object ('the red ball'). Not all verbs have objects and not all sentences do either. Sometimes they're not needed.
What's the role of 'bit' in the sentence, "The big red dog bit the thief on his leg"?
Prepositional phrase
What's the role of 'the big red dog' in the sentence, "The big red dog bit the thief on his leg"?
Subject
What's the role of 'the thief' in the sentence, "The big red dog bit the thief on his leg"?
Noun phrase
What kind of phrase is "on the leg"?
Verb
What kind of phrase is "the big red dog"?
Object

A clause is a group of words with (at least) a subject and verb. There are two kinds of clause: (1) independent clauses and (2) dependent clauses. Independent clauses are a simple sentence. In sentences with many clauses, an independent clause could be taken out and still make sense by itself. A dependent clause cannot be by itself. It needs to be in a sentence with an independent clause to make sense.
Noun phrase
the rapidly increasing population
Clause

Prepositional phrase
I love soccer
Example of a dependent clause
Subject + verb (+ object)
