What is a complete subject?

A complete subject includes all the words that tell who or what the sentence is about. It encompasses the simple subject, which is the main noun or pronoun, along with all its modifiers, such as adjectives, adverbs, and phrases that describe or limit it.

For example, in the sentence "The big, fluffy cat slept soundly," the complete subject is "The big, fluffy cat."

Here are some important aspects to consider regarding a complete subject:

• <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Simple%20Subject">Simple Subject</a>: This is the core noun or pronoun that the sentence is about (e.g., "cat").
• <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Modifiers">Modifiers</a>: These words or phrases add detail and description to the simple subject (e.g., "The," "big," "fluffy"). Modifiers can include:
  • Adjectives (e.g., "big," "fluffy")
  • Adverbs (though less common directly modifying the subject noun)
  • <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Prepositional%20Phrases">Prepositional Phrases</a> (e.g., "The cat on the mat")
• Function: The complete subject performs the action (verb) of the sentence.
• Identification: To identify the complete subject, ask "Who or what is doing the action?"
