Noun phrases containing relative clauses...help!
Could someone break this down grammatically for me?
One thing that I'd really miss is my mom's cooking.
Subject: One thing
verb: miss
noun: mom's cooking
Is that right? oNe more thing...what's the difference between a noun and a subject? Isn't a subject a noun?

Subject: One thing
verb: miss
noun: mom's cooking
Is that right? oNe more thing...what's the difference between a noun and a subject? Isn't a subject a noun?

I believe that the
subject is the whole noun phrase: One thing that i'd really miss.
the noun is: thing
relative clause: i'd really miss
object: mom's cooking
so as you can see the subject is not a noun but is a noun phrase.

It is unwritten rule of the grammar that the subject of the sentence is always a noun. However you will find the sentences like " so busy was she planting her seeds, that she did not notice me." but these type of sentences fall under the category Cleft Sentence.
