where is the complete and simple subject in this sentence (some people like to take classes to learn new things.)
I posted the answer to the last question you asked about subjects. Now it's your turn.
What do you think the simple and complete subjects are in this sentence?
I'll be happy to check your answer.
i think that the complete subject is (some people) and the simple subject is (some)
You're half right. The complete subject is some people. But the simple subject is people.
Some is an adjective in this sentence describing people.
By the way, since you're studying grammar, you should get in the habit of using correct capitalization and punctuation.
Remember that your audience here is teachers, not FaceBook buddies.
