AnonymousAre these simple subjects correct in the following sentences?
Please explain how they were grown. -- No, there is no subject here. It's an imperative, and the subject is "you" but is unstated.
They used potatoes to make a special flour. -- Okay
Guess how the flour was made. -- No, another imperative, so no subject
