The first word of a sentence is called the subject.
The subject is the noun or pronoun that performs the action of the verb in a sentence. It is often the main topic of the sentence, and it is usually followed by a verb.
Here are some examples:
- The cat sat on the mat.
- She went to the store.
- My dog loves to play fetch.
In each of these examples, the bold word is the subject of the sentence.
It is important to note that the subject is not always the first word in a sentence. For example:
- In the sentence, "Yesterday, I went to the park," the subject is "I," even though it is not the first word in the sentence.
However, the subject is always the noun or pronoun that performs the action of the verb.
