1 : SUBJECTS AND VERBS
Some sentences in English have just one subject and
verb, and it is very important for you to find the subject and verb in these
sentences. In some sentences it is easy to find the subject and verb. However,
certain structures, such as objects of prepositions, appositives, and
participles, can cause confusion in locating the subject and verb because each
of these structures can look like a subject or verb. An object of the
preposition or an appositive can be mistaken for a subject, while a participle
can be mistaken for a verb.
Therefore, you should be able to do the following in
sentences with one subject and verb: 1) be sure the sentence has a subject and
a verb, 2) be careful of objects of prepositions and appositives when you are
looking for the subject, and 3) be careful of present participles and past
participles when you are looking for the verb.
You know that a sentence in English should have a
subject and a verb. The most common types of problems that you will encounter
in the Structure section of the TOEFL test are related to subjects and verbs;
perhaps the sentence is missing either the subject, or the verb, or both;
perhaps the sentence has an extra subject or verb. A preposition is followed by
a noun or pronoun that is called an object of the preposition. If a word is an
object of a preposition, it is not the subject.
