2. NOUNS SUBJECT-VERB-OBJECT
A subject is the person, animal, object that does the action.
A subject can be: a noun (the ball, my chair),
a pronoun (I, you, he, she, we, you, they, it), or
a possessive pronoun (mine, yours, his, hers, ours, theirs)
A sentence can have only a subject and a verb:
I don’t know.
I will try.
I need help.

3. NOUNS SUBJECT-VERB-OBJECT
An object is something used to do the action, or what the action is done to. It is also a noun.
A sentence can have only a verb and an object:
