I read the article for 5 mins and spent 10 minutes making this post.
Step 2 – Subject
Nouns are things . They include objects, people, places and abstract things like a thought or an emotion.
I like this explanation cuz it specifies what the “things” part of a noun are. In school I didn’t know what “things” meant like if it was something abstract or physical.
Step two is finding the subject .
That’s easy to remember. So first find the verb and then the subject which is to the left of the verb.
Note: Some people teach finding the subject before the verb, mostly because it comes first (to the left) in the sentence. But it makes more sense to look for an actor after you know what the action is. And sentences tend to have more nouns than verbs, so starting with verbs gives you fewer things to deal with.
Yeah, I remember in school finding the subject came first. I like finding the verb first cuz yeah there are less verbs than nouns in a sentence so they’re easier to spot.
