Which word represents the subject of this sentence? "I'm just inviting you to join me in my uncertainty." Question 2 options: 1) me 2) you 3) my 4) I

Answers

The word that represents the subject of this sentence is 4) I.

The subject is one of the most basic parts of a sentence and it generally refers to a person or thing that is performing an action. Moreover, on some occasions, the subject is just being something.  In this specific sentence, the subject is a pronoun ("I") and it is performing an action, that is "inviting". Furthermore, it is a simple subject because it is formed with just one word and no modifiers.  

The subject is who the active person in the sentence is: in this case it's 4) I -I'm the one who does the action corresponding to the main verb in the sentence (invite). "You" is an object here.
