The Subject in an English sentence is usually the noun or pronoun, which is talked about or is performing the action. The easiest trick to identify the subject is to ask yourself, "Who or what is doing the action?" or "Who or what is this sentence about?" The answer is usually the subject.

The Subject is the core component of a sentence in English language. It is the 'thing' that is being talked about or described in the sentence. The subject can be the noun, pronoun, or noun phrase that performs the action of the verb. For example: The girl is eating her food: The subject here is the 'girl' as she is the one who is doing the action, that is, eating her food.

Yes, the University of Mannheim has a very diverse student population, as a result the institute is known to offer courses in English as well as the German language.

Students can also complete exchange courses at the institute without any prior German language skills.

However, courses taught in German does require students to submit valid German test scores, as per the course specific requirements.

Grammatically, in home and at home are correct. However, their usage varies in terms of context. The use of 'at home' shows something or someone is located in the home. However, 'in home' describes something that happens in the home. For more clarity, have a look at the examples below:

  • At home: I left the keys at home.
  • In home: The keys are placed over the refrigerator in home.
