12
Focus on WritingThe Sentence..p. 13

• Every sentence in English has a subject and a
  verb.
• e.g. He works. They play.
• subject verb subject verb
• A sentence may have only a subject and a verb,
  but usually, there are other words in the
  sentence.
• e.g. - He works for an employment agency / at
  the camera shop.
• - They play basketball at the club every
  Saturday.

13
Focus on WritingThe Sentence..p. 13

• The Subject
• The subject is the person or thing the sentence
  is 'about'. Often (but not always) it will be the
  first part of the sentence. The subject will
  usually be a noun or a noun phrase (a noun and
  the words, such as adjectives, that modify it)
  followed by a verb.
• - He works for an employment agency / at
  the camera shop.
• - They play basketball at the club every
  Saturday.

14
Focus on WritingThe Sentence..p. 13

• In commands, we do not say or write the subject
  but the subject of the sentence will be always
  understood as YOU
• e.g. Answer the want ads. YOU answer the want
  ads.
• Subjects come before the verb and often come at
  the beginning of the sentence
• e.g. Saeed told me it was a great job.
• subject verb

15
Focus on WritingThe Sentence..p. 13

• Subjects can be one word or many words..
• e.g. Saeed and Jack told me it was a great job.
• subject verb
• They told me it was a great job.
• subject verb

16
Focus on WritingThe Sentence..p. 13

• Subjects cannot be repeated
• We cannot say for example
• Saeed he told me it was a great job.
• In this case, we will have a subject and a
  pronoun referring to the same subject for one
  verb. This is not correct.
• This is different from saying for instance
• Saeed and Ahmed told me it was a great job.
• In this case, we have two different people/doers
  performing the same verb. This is OK
