Hi,

Simple subject: hobbies

Complete subject: Many kinds of hobbies

Hi,

Many kinds of hobbies are popular nowadays.

I guess it depends on how you define 'simple subject'. I'm inclined to say that it is 'kinds'. After all, you could say

'People like hobbies. Many kinds are popular nowadays.'

Best wishes, Clive

Hi Clive,
