Explanation:
A simple subject commonly refers to a person, place, or thing, who is playing out an activity. The simple subject is a single word addressing the subject with practically no of its modifiers or adjectives though a complete subject addresses the subject along with all of its modifiers or adjectives.
The simple subject is only who or what is “doing” the verb, without any modifiers. Simple Subject Examples: Ana is conducted a research. In this sentence, “Ana ” is “doing” the verb, “conducted.”
