Can you choose the simple subject in the following sentence?

Question

The tallest contestant won the prize.
A. tallest
B. contestant
C. won
D. prize

Answer 1

B contestant



verb = won

subject = who won = contestant

adjective = tallest

object = predicate = prize

Answer 2

Contestant.



Now here's how you figure this one out:



1) Find the main verb (simple predicate) by changing the tense of the sentence. In this case, won (wins, will win).

2) Ask, who or what ____? (Fill in the blank with the main verb). The answer here is "contestant."



The reason you do not include the word "tallest" is because tallest is an adjective (word that modifies, or gives further description of, a noun). Although not always, a simple subject is usually just one word.

Answer 3

subject is contestant

tallest is an adverb modifying the subject

won is the verb

prize it an adverb telling what the contetestand won.
