- **Understood Subject in a Sentence**
In a sentence, the subject is the person, thing, or idea that is doing or being something. However, in some cases, the subject can be understood without being explicitly stated. This is often seen in imperative sentences, where the subject "you" is implied.
- **Example of an Understood Subject**
a) Run!
In this sentence, the subject "you" is understood even though it is not mentioned. The sentence is a command or an imperative sentence, where the speaker is instructing someone to run. The subject "you" is implied in this sentence.
- **Other Sentences without an Understood Subject**
b) The bird flew.
In this sentence, the subject "the bird" is explicitly mentioned. It is not an imperative sentence, but rather a statement about what the bird did.
c) The children played.
Similar to the previous example, this sentence includes the explicit subject "the children" performing the action of playing.
d) Quickly!
While this sentence is also an imperative sentence, instructing someone to do something quickly, it lacks an explicit subject. However, in this case, there is no understood subject like in sentence (a).
In conclusion, sentence (a) "Run!" is the one with an understood subject, where "you" is implied.
