Challenging Challenges-RanDarius Cooley

There have been many challenging units during these last seven weeks. To begin with, in my English the most challenging unit was finding subjects. I had trouble finding these because while in school my teachers did not take the time to teach this to me. I did not understand how to do it, but when I asked for help they would tell me they are not about to go back and reteach it to me. But during this summer I have learned a lot about subjects, For example, I learned that a subject is the who or what word that performs the action or the who or what about which the statement is made. In addition to that I learned every sentence must contain a two basic elements: a subject and a verb. Such as, The red car belongs to Kaleb. The car is what word about which a statement is made. I learned also that some sentences may have more than one subject and may be conjoined by the word “and”. For example, “ My mother and father are not together.” (Mother and Father is the compound subject. Also sometimes a –ing word can be a subject of a sentence. To illustrate, Walking hurts my legs badly. To be specific, Walking is the word that performs the action. Now that I understand I can find more interesting and easier for me to understand.
