In the following sentence, I am supposed to tell what is the simple subject and what is the complete subject.

It was suggested that the mother apply aloe vera four times daily.

Is the simple subject it? I don't have a clue what the complete subject is.
Thanks

I think the complete subject is the mother applying aloe vera. The main subject is the mother.

Alicia is incorrect.

It = main subject (both the simple and the complete subject in this case)
was suggested = main verb
that = word introducing subordinate clause
mother = subject of subordinate clause (not the whole sentence)
apply = verb of subordinate clause

In the sentence "It was suggested that the mother apply aloe vera four times daily," the simple subject is "mother," while the complete subject is "the mother apply aloe vera four times daily."

To identify the simple subject, you need to find the noun or pronoun that the sentence is mainly about. In this case, the sentence is about "the mother."

The complete subject, on the other hand, includes all the words that describe or modify the simple subject. In this sentence, "the mother apply aloe vera four times daily" is the complete subject. It includes the article "the," which specifies which mother is being referred to, and the verb phrase "apply aloe vera four times daily," which gives additional information about what the mother is supposed to do.

So, in summary:
Simple subject: mother
Complete subject: the mother apply aloe vera four times daily
