Sometimes subjects are more than one word in the sentence. • My room smells fishy. • “My room” are the two words that make up the complete subject. • My family loves to fish. • “My family” is the complete subject—who the sentence is about. • My brother likes to skateboard. • What are the two words that make the complete subject? • “My brother” is called the complete subject.
Let’s do some more examples: • Find the complete subject in each sentence. • Jared’s family makes music together. • Complete subject: Jared’s family • His mom is a drummer. • Complete subject: His mom • That flute belongs to his sister. • Complete subject: That flute
Complete subjects can have even more than two words. • The family next door to us swims in their pool. • “The family next door to us” is the complete subject—who the sentence is about. • Each member of my family goes to school. • “Each member of my family” is the complete subject. • People all over the world listen to music. • What is the complete subject? • “People all over the world” is the complete subject.
