CalifJimYes. All subjects of clauses are noun phrases.Thank you for the reply. Is it also true with clauses such as: To err is human?

AnonymousIs it also true with clauses such as: To err is human?Actually, I believe they say that the "clause" to err is the subject in cases like that, so revise my previous statement accordingly. Note, however, that this is dancing on the edge of the circle that surrounds the vast majority of typical sentential subjects.
