Information on Grammar pertaining to English Speaking

What is a subject? The subject in a sentence is "who" or "what" you are talking about. Every sentence needs a subject. If you don't have a subject, then the sentence is incorrect and nobody will understand what you are talking about. In other languages, the subject is not always required. Verbally, the person listening to you will understand what you are talking about, so a subject is not required. In English, a subject is always required. Here are examples of small sentences with the subject underlined. " I  am hungry" " My brother  is very smart" " That computer  is very expensive" " We  are going to the store now" " My sister  and I will be waiting here" " The building  is very big" "When are  you  going to eat lunch?" "Why are  they  waiting in line?" "Who is going to take  you  to the store?"
