Subject of a sentence
What is the subject of this sentence (and the rule if you know it)? "The moon orbits the earth, and the earth orbits the sun."
Top answer
The moon orbits the earth, and the earth orbits the sun. There are two independent clauses here and hence two subjects, as underlined. You can tell they are the subjects because they are in the usual subject position, before the predicator (verb).
