This document discusses basic grammar concepts including person and number, subject and auxiliary verbs. It explains the differences between singular and plural forms of subjects and objects in the first, second and third person. It also discusses the short forms of auxiliary verbs and how to identify subjects as powerful or powerless to determine if a sentence is active or passive. Key points covered are the forms of subjects as single words or noun phrases and that the subject of a sentence comes before the verb.
