I have to find the subjects and verbs in all these sentences, please let me know if I did it correctly. Thank you.
A guy whom I work with has a theory about college students. (Verb=work, has) (Subject=guy, theory)

Please, give me an explanation for this sentence for whatever corrections.
The first thing you need to do is find the verbs. Then, ask who or what is doing this.
The verbs in this sentence are have, involve.
What do you think are the subjects of these verbs? Who have? What involve?
9. Business is the major for people who only care about money.
(Verb=is, care) (Subject=business, money)
Almost right. The subject of care is not money.
10. My coworker admits that his theory consists of stereotypes.
(Verb=consists, admits) (Subject=coworker, stereotypes)
Your verbs are right, but stereotypes is not the subject of consists.
Again, thanks a lot. I'm really learning from you. If my reasoning is not correct , please let me know. Thanks.
8.Who have? Students have dreams so, subject is students. What involves? I still think dreams would be the subject.
9.who cares? People would be the subject then.
10.theory b/c theory consists of...
You're welcome. And I'm glad you're learning. :-)
8. Students is the subject of have.
The subject of involve is that, the subject of the adjective clause.
9. The subject of care is who. It's similar to number 8. Who is the subject of the adjective clause.
10. Right!
8. What is an adjective clause? I know what an adjective is.
have dreams that involve exploring the unknown and having something names after themselves.
What involves? How is it not dreams? It must be unknown then, but why? Please let me know, thank you!!
