In order to find the subject of a sentence locate the verb and ask yourself who? or what? is doing the action of the verb. We can use this strategy in an example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The dog swims across the lake. (The verb is <em>swims<\/em> so we ask, &#8220;Who swims?&#8221; or &#8220;What swims?&#8221; The answer is the dog.)\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Subject pronouns<\/strong> are pronouns that replace a noun previously mentioned. They act as the subject of the sentence. Here are the English\u00a0<strong>subject pronouns<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>singular subject pronouns: I, you, he, she, and it.<\/li>\n<li>plural subject pronouns: we, you, and they.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here is are some examples.
