Every sentence in English must have a subject and a verb and be a complete thought. The subject of a sentence is ALWAYS a noun or pronoun.

 Examples:

1. The children played.

2. They played.

Children & They are the subjects.

 

In addition to the subject and verb, many sentences also have an object.

 3. The children played a game. [They played what? A game.]

4. Jose is reading an interesting book. [He's reading what? A book.]
