✔ Explanation:
In English grammar, every complete sentence must have at least a
subject and a
verb.
-
Subject: The person, place, thing, or idea that is doing or being something. It usually comes before the verb.
-
Verb: The action or state of being in the sentence.
#### Examples:
- In “
We like monkeys” → “
We” is who is doing the action → Subject. “
like” is the action → Verb.
- In “
Gloria and her dad make cookies” → “
Gloria and her dad” are the ones doing the action → Compound Subject. “
make” is the verb.
- In “
The dog sleeps” → “
The dog” is the subject; “
sleeps” is the verb (action).
> 💡 Note: Sometimes verbs can be more than one word (e.g., “is running”, “has eaten”), but in these sentences, all verbs are simple present tense single words.
