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.
