All sentences have subjects; if it didn't have a subject, it would be known as a fragment, which is a group of Words lacking a subject, verb, complete thought, or all of these.
I will show you a couple of proper sentences. Don't worry; they have subjects.
I will bolden the subject and italicize the verb.1. She went to the mall.
2. He purchased a new car.
3. We went to the beach.
4. The days of fall were very hot this year.
5. I like Pizza.
6 I like to eat pizza occasionally.
If you do know what a prepositional phrase is, cross them out; this will help you find your subjects and your verbs.
Remember, a subject is who or what does something or exists in a certain way in a sentence. A verb tells what the noun does or that the noun is something. A verb is not an action; that is the wrong definition.
All of the following fragments are also fragments because they are not complete thoughts.
These are examples of fragments; they don't have subjects:
1. Was thrilled. This would be correct if this sentence said: She was thrilled.
2. Happened too quickly.
3. Couldn't help because it was too late.
These are also examples of fragments, but these are fragments because they don't have verbs.
1. She thrilled. This would be correct if this sentence said: She was thrilled.
2. He real quick.
3. Everything too quickly.
