Question

Which best describes the underlined word in the sentence?

During Roman times, the -constellations- were given Latin names.

A.
simple subject

B.
complete subject

C.
compound subject
constellations is underlined

Answer 1

The simple subject is the main word or word group that tells whom or what the sentence is about. The complete subject consists of all the words that tell whom or what a sentence is about.

Know the difference between a complete subject and a simple subject. The complete subject is who or what is doing the verb plus all of the modifiers [descriptive words] that go with it. Read the sentence below: The big, hungry, green Martian grabbed a student from the back row.

In grammar, a compound subject is a type of subject where two or more individual noun phrases are coordinated to form a single, larger noun phrase. Compound subjects cause many difficulties in the proper usage of grammatical agreement between the subject and other entities (verbs, pronouns, etc.).
