So you have to remember what a simple subject is. Do you know what it is?

justasoftie · Answer

Well, if you don't know what a simple subject is, here is a definition from Google: A simple subject is a subject that has just one noun as the focus of the sentence. A subject is a noun, which is a person, place, thing, or idea. Every sentence has to have two parts: a subject and a verb (or predicate). The subject tells us who or what is the focus of the sentence.
