Question

What is the complete subject in this sentence? Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy teach each other a lesson about pride.

Answer 1

Answer: The complete subject is Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy.

Explanation:

• The subject, commonly a noun, a noun phrase or a pronoun, usually occurs at the beginning of the sentence to indicate who/what performs the action.

• In this case, Elizabeth and Mr.Darcy is the subject, as both of the nouns perform the action of teaching.
• The rest of the sentence forms a predicate, which provides further information about the subject.
• There are two objects in the sentence:

1. indirect - each other, and
2. direct - a lesson about pride.
