1. Hard to Find
Subjects
By: Emilie, Sarah, Monique, and Shelby
2. Most sentences have
subjects that can be
easily found, but some,
however have hard to
find subjects.
3. Inverted Sentences
Inverted sentences are sentences in which
the subject follows the verb.
Sentences that are questions and sentences
that start with “Here” and “There” are
inverted sentences.
4. Questions????
When trying to find the subject in a
question sentence, rewrite the question as a
statement.
Example: Is she in the house?
Rewrite it saying: She is in the house.
5. “Here” and “There”
“Here” and “There” are NEVER the subjects
of sentences.
When finding subjects with “Here” and
“There” rewrite the sentence.
Example: There is the lost dog.
Rewrite it saying: The lost dog is there.
6. Understood Subjects
Understood subjects are only in imperative
sentences.
Example: Listen to this story.
The understood subject is “You” because
they are telling “You” to listen to the story.
