Sentences

collective nouns. They stand for groups of more than one members.

All sentences have subjects. The subject of a sentence is the doer of the
action. It is also who or what is talked about in the sentence. The subject
of a sentence can be a noun or a pronoun.
Ninoy Aquino is an extraordinary man.
The noun Ninoy Aquino is what is talked about in the sentence. It is used
as the subject of the sentence.
A subjective complement renames a subject.
Don is a positive thinker.
The noun thinker restates the subject of the sentence, Don. The noun
thinker functions as the subjective complement.
Nouns can also be used as appositives. An appositive is a noun that
comes directly after another noun and gives more information about it. It is
set off from the rest of the sentence by commas before and after it.
Don, a teacher, is also a league of legends player.

The noun teacher comes right after another noun, Don. The nouns teacher
and Don refer to the same person. Don is the subject of the sentence.
Teacher is an appositive.
