Implicit Subject with 100 examples and elaboration

Implicit Subject

The implicit subject is one that does not appear expressly in the sentence but must be inferred. The subject is omitted because it is understood in the sentence and it is not considered necessary to express it. This type of subject is also known as an implied subject , omitted subject , or elliptical subject .

The implicit subject will correspond to one of the grammatical persons of the speech : first of the singular ( yo ), second of the singular (  ), third of the singular ( he, she, you ), first of the plural ( us, nosotras ), second of the plural ( you, you, you ), third of the plural ( them, them ).

The subject can be inferred from the verb conjugation of the core verb of the predicate: the verb will be conjugated according to the grammatical person being spoken about. Likewise, other words such as possessives or adjectives can refer to the person who corresponds to the subject of the sentence.

Let’s look at some examples:

  • “I am very happy with my work.” The implied subject is me ; it can be inferred by the conjugation of the verb ( I am ) and by the possessive mi that refers to the first person.
  • “Do you have change for this bill?” The implied subject is the second person singular:  ; it can be inferred by the conjugation of the verb ( you have ).
  • “Come with us to have fun!” The implied subject is you ; it can be inferred by the conjugation of the verbs ( you guys come; you guys have fun ).
  • “It has very nice handwriting.” The implied subject is the third person singular: it can be he , she , or you ; can be inferred by the verb conjugation ( he has, she has, you have ).
  • “We will see each other very soon to talk about our future.” The implied subject is us ; it can be inferred by the conjugation of the verb ( we will see ), by the pronoun nos and by the possessive our .
