Which is the subject of this sentence? Last year, wasn't Carson City in Nevada near our campsite? A. year B. Carson City C. Nevada D. city

OpenStudy (dangerousjesse):

Wrong subject, but what's your guess? :)

zepdrix (zepdrix):

I thought it was campsite, so clearly I know nothing :) lol

OpenStudy (constanceleak):

Oh, srry. Im guessing B?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Subject - the preformer of the action. Object - entity that the action is preformed upon.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Last year {Who/What} wasn't? which word in the sentence answers the question?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

(answer the question I asked) the "Carson City" wasn't. the "year" wasn't. the "Nevada" wasn't. the "city" wasn't.

OpenStudy (constanceleak):

the first one?

OpenStudy (constanceleak):

but year is before wasn't

OpenStudy (constanceleak):

idk😞

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

"was not" is the action verb the `Carston City` wasn't near

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Carston city preforms this action verb.

OpenStudy (constanceleak):

sooo does that mean it's Carson City?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its nevada beacuse there asking about what was near the site so it would be nevada

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorray its carson citya

OpenStudy (constanceleak):

ok..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The subject is Carson City (it can't be only City as it's a name). "year" is part of the temporal adverb and Nevada is giving an additional information about the Carson City, but it is the latter that is the subject.
