Subject
 What
the sentence is about. The subject
of a sentence is the person, place, thing,
or idea that is doing or being something.
You can find the subject of a sentence if
you can find the verb. Ask the question,
"Who or what 'verbs' or 'verbed'?" and the
answer to that question is the subject
Example:

is going to be a ballerina for
Halloween.
Note the key words: “be” and “ballerina” .
She is going to be something, therefore Sally
is the subject.

grows up.
