What is the Subject of a Sentence?

[@DeniseXYugi]

I'm 24 years old and no teacher has truly broke this down and explained to me how to identify subjects and verbs. I have struggled with English classes through all my school years and into college. I finally take an English 101 course online from Delgado Community College and my teacher has your video linked to our learning assignments. I finally can identify subjects and verbs. Thank you for breaking it down with such ease.

But mam you still didn't explain why singular 'I' gets a plural verb though we all know that it is as it is.

Respectfully, the SUBJECT is who or what the sentence is about. Isn't the sentence, here, directly about what the "I" is doing (in this case, thinking) rather than what he thinks? Yes, we find out other information with the sentence, but whatever the "I" is observing in the process of thinking seems secondary to the fact that the "I" is thinking. As we observe what the "I" both what the "I" is observing and thinking about what he is observing, we are making a determination about the soundness of the parent's judgement not the child's. If the speaker said, "I taught that boy well," then the speaker would not seem as transparent as he does when we agree with his assessment of the situation. Therefore, the sentence is only secondarily about the child's apprarently distrubed condition and the measures that the parents might need to take to address it. In short, if the speaker just said, "This child needs help," then the sentence would be about the child. That's why in academic argumentation, we eliminate the self-reference when we state a thesis. If you argue, "I think global climate change is accelerated by human activities." The rebuttal may be focused on your thinking something rather than on the claim that you are making. In academic argumentation, the point is to make the statement with confidence that regardless of what you feel, think, or believe, the evidence offered in support of the thesis statement will convincingly validate the claim.

In the sentence, "Everybody I know needs what I'm selling." I'm persuaded that the subject is "Everybody" not "Everybody I know"
