2. Identifying parts of a sentence

3.  All sentences have a subject and a verb.  The subject is the person, place, or thing being described or doing the action.  The verb is the action. Examples:  Mrs. García is my teacher.  She is from Spain.  She runs.

4.  Spanish sentences also have a subject and a verb.  The subject is still the person, place, or thing being described or doing the action.  The verb is still the action. Ejemplos:  Señora García es mi profesora.  Ella es de España.  Ella corre.

5.  English and Spanish sentences use nouns as subjects. However, subject pronouns can replace the noun as the subject.  Juan can be replaced by He in English or Él in Spanish.  Julia can be replaced by She in English or Ella in Spanish.

6.  English sentences will ALWAYS have a subject or a subject pronoun. However, in Spanish the subject or subject pronoun can be omitted if everyone knows who you are talking about.  Examples:  María is my friend.  She is from Spain.  Ejemplos.  María es mi amiga.  Es de España.
