English Essentials Chapter 1: Subject and Verb
Subject
• The subject of a sentence is the person, place, thing, or idea that the
sentence is about. To find the subject, ask yourself, "Who or what is
this sentence about?" or "Who or what is doing something in this
sentence?"
• For example, look at the following two sentences:
People applauded.
Gloria wrote the answers on the board.
• A subject will always be a noun or a pronoun. A noun is the name of a

person, place, thing, or idea. A pronoun is a word-such as I, you, he,
English Essentials Chapter 1: Subject and Verb
Verbs
• Many verbs express action; they tell what the subject is doing. You can
find an action verb by asking, "What did the subject do?" Look again
at these sentences:
People applauded.
Gloria wrote the answers on the board.
• Some verbs do not show action; they are called linking verbs. Linking
verbs like is, are, was, and were join (or link) the subject to something
that is said about the subject.
For example, in the sentence Gloria is a teacher, the linking
verb is connects the subject Gloria with what is said about her-that

essays and research papers.
• Learning to write a paragraph is an
important academic skill.

Basics about Irregular Verbs
• Most English verbs are regular. That is, they form their past tense and past
participle by adding
• -ed or -d to the basic form, as shown here:
• Some English verbs are irregular. They do not form their past tense and past
participle by adding
• -ed or -d to the basic form of the verb. Instead, their past tenses and past
participles are formed in other
• ways. Here are some of the most common irregular verbs.
A word about helping verbs
Sometimes the verb of a sentence consists of more than one word. In these cases, the main
verb will be joined by one or more helping verbs. Look at the following sentence:
• I should have gone to bed earlier last night.
In this sentence, the main verb is gone. The helping verbs are should and have. Other
common helping verbs include be, can, could, do, has, may, must, will, and would. (For a
longer list of helping verbs, see page 4.)
When you use the above chart, keep these two points in mind:
1. If the verb in your sentence does not have a helping verb, choose the past tense form.
I ate a bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich.
2. If the verb in your sentence does have a helping verb, choose the past participle.
I had eaten a bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich.
NOTE If you think a verb is irregular, and it is not in the above list, look it up in your
dictionary. If it is irregular, the principal parts will be listed. See "Dictonary Use," page 267.
Irregular Verbs Practice pg. 10
Please complete the irregular
verbs practice on pg. 10.
Choose the correct answer
from the choices given on
the left.
