The subject noun is the noun that performs the action described by the verb and can be identified by answering “who did it?” or “what did he do?” Nouns can function as subjects, objects, adjectives, adverbs, or appositives. An object noun is the person or thing affected by the action of the verb and can be direct or indirect.
A subject noun is the subject of a sentence and usually, but not always, comes before the main verb in a sentence. The subject performs the action described by the verb and can be identified in a sentence by the answer to the question “who did it?” or “what did he do?” A noun is a noun used for a person, thing, animal, or something abstract, and these nouns can function in a sentence as a subject, subject or complement of object, direct or indirect object, adjective, adverb, or appositive.
There are several ways a subject noun can be used. A subject can be associated with an action verb such as play, eat, or study. It can exist with a verb of “to be” as in “is”. For example, “There’s a fly in my soup.” A subject noun can be acted upon when used with a passive verb or described after a “to be” verb or a linking verb. An example of the latter is “This hamburger tastes delicious”, where “taste” is the link between the subject and the adjective.
A noun is a part of speech, and a subject is a word function in a sentence. Used together, a subject noun is the noun that is used as the subject in a sentence. Nouns aren’t always subjects, and subjects don’t always have to be a noun, but most subjects are nouns, noun phrases, or noun clauses. The key parts of a sentence are the subject and the verb and these are usually accompanied by an object. Nouns can be subjects or objects. Basically, the subject gives a name to what the sentence is about, the verb is the word “to do” or “to be” and the object is the recipient of the action dictated by the verb.
An object noun is usually found after the verb in a sentence. It is the person or thing that is affected by the action of the verb. A direct object is easy to identify as it answers the question “who or what is affected by or receives the action taken by the subject?” An indirect object is the noun or pronoun that is the addressee of the direct object and usually occurs before the direct object in a sentence. For example, “Emily got her brother a present for her birthday.” In this sentence, ‘her brother’ is the indirect object and ‘a present’ is the direct object.
