5 Caution. If the Sentence only answers our question by repeating " Who? " W What?" "Which?"
&c. as(1) " What made you so foolish?"
(2) " Who saw him die? "
- then, " Who? " " What? " Which? "are themselves the Subjects.
6 The Subject in a Commanding Sentence.'
The Subject in a Commanding Sentence is almost
always "you"; or, in Poetry, "thou" or "ye."
It is generally not expressed:
(1) "Stay (you) where you are: the rest may go."
(2) "Follow (thou) me."
7 Caution. Where a Verb follows a Conjunction,
as(1) "... that the attempt may prosper."
(2) "... ifThomas helps me."
— it is useful sometimes to repeat the Conjunction
before " Who? " or " What? ": -
(1) "That what may prosper?" Answer: "The
attempt," Subject.
(2) " If who helps me?" Answer: "Thomas,"
Subject.
In these sentences, the name " Subject " is usually given to the
Pronoun denoting the person to wchom the commallll is addressed.
