What's the best way to find the subject in a sentence? How do you define a subject? I am especially curious about such cases, in which the subject seems to be represented by more than one word:
The majority of people didn't mind the new policy.
A great number of students went on strike yesterday.
and such cases where the passive voice is used:
The man was bit by a dog.
Children were frightened by the wolf.
Also, please, consider such cases with ergative verbs:
I broke my chair.
The chair broke.
The chair was broken by me.
