Answer 2

The first part of any sentence is a subject.

A subject is one of the five significant components of clause structure. The other four are verb, object, complement and, adjunct. Subjects are fundamental in explanatory, negative, and inquisitive clauses.  

The subject goes about as the 'practitioner' or specialist of an activity. Subjects are regularly noun phrases (for example a noun or pronoun and any dependent words previously or after it).

For example:

• The teacher told the class to sit down. (determiner + noun)  

• Doesn’t he eat meat? (pronoun)  

• Spring is like a breath of fresh air after a winter indoors. (noun)  

• Callum is so good at sport. (proper noun)
