Note: Object and Subject

Pra quem não lembra das aulas de português, sujeito (subject) é quem executa a ação representada pelo verbo na frase (embora nem todo verbo necessariamente indique uma ação, essa é uma maneira simples de você entender a coisa) e objeto (object) é quem sofre a ação executada pelo sujeito.

Jack ate a Big Mac this morning. subject: Jack / object: Big Mac
