Subject

It's from Wikipedia: "It bothers me how she doesn't care what he wants."

Is the "how she doesn't care what he wants " a subject in the sentence?

Thank you.

Hi,

In grammatical sense it is not. It is the object of the verb 'bothers'.

Isn't "me" in the sentence the object of the verb bothers?

It bothers me. "me" is the object of the sentence and "It" is the dummy subject that replaces "how..."

Hi Holyduke,

'Me' is the indirect object and the other one (how she doesn't care what he wants ) is the direct object.

Hi,

Thank you for correcting me. I was indeed wrong.

I had no idea of the double object sentence construction until you corrected me.
