2 WHAT IS A SUBJECT? In a sentence, the person or thing that performs the action of the verb is called the SUBJECT.

3 To find the subject of a sentence, always look for the verb first, then ask “who?” or “what?” before the verb. The answer will be the subject. Daniel speaks French. Verb = speaks. Who speaks French? = Daniel = subject. Daniel’s books cost a lot of money. What costs a lot of money? = Daniel’s books = subject.

5 WHAT IS AN OBJECT? A word or phrase in a sentence referring to the person or thing receiving the action of a verb. Fred mows the lawn. Fred talks to his brother. My cousin left with her boyfriend.

6 WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT KINDS OF OBJECTS? Daniel writes a letter. – direct object. There’s no preposition between WRITES and A LETTER. He speaks to Julia. – indirect object. The preposition TO is between SPEAKS and JULIA. The boy left with his father. – object of preposition. The preposition WITH (a preposition other than TO) is between LEFT and HIS FATHER.
