The subject of a sentence is who or what the sentence is about. It's the main person, place, thing, or idea that performs the action. Identifying the subject helps us understand what the sentence is trying to tell us. For example, in the sentence 'The cat sleeps on the mat,' the subject is 'cat' because the sentence is about the cat.
