To identify the simple subject in a sentence, you need to identify the main noun of the sentence, which is the noun that the sentence is primarily about.
In the sentence "My first dog was afraid of thunderstorms," the subject is "my first dog." To find the simple subject, you need to remove any modifiers or additional information and focus on the main noun. In this case, "dog" is the simple subject.
To determine this, break down the sentence:
- "My first dog" is a noun phrase that describes the specific dog you are referring to.
- "Was afraid of thunderstorms" is the predicate that describes what the dog's fear was.
Therefore, "dog" is the simple subject because it is the main noun of the sentence and the subject of the verb "was afraid."
