 Which is the subject? I'm really stuck on this one. My mind has gone blank. Need some help please. Where is the subject in this phrase? I'm quite sure it's 'I'. --I'm worried about something-- Taking into account that we don't use do/does/did if who/what etc. is the subject, the question should be: What did are you worried about? But it isn't, it's: What are you worried about? Why is this? Thank you Jag |

| Re: Which is the subject? The subject is I. I - am - worried. Change it to You and it's You - are - worried. So the question is Why - are - you - worried? It has nothing to do with do/does/did/done. Jaguar likes this. |
