Subject and Object

Compose two sentences for each of these nouns, one where it is the subject of the verb and (if possible) one where it is the object.

Introduction

Use each word below in two sentences, first as the subject of a verb, and then as the object of a verb. It doesn’t have to be the same verb: some verbs can’t be paired with an object (e.g. arrive, happen), so watch out for these.

1. Save. 2. Communication. 3. Secret. 4. Opinion. 5. Button. 6. Application. 7. Show. 8. Shape. 9. Recovery.

Variations: 1.use your noun in the plural (e.g. cat → cats), if possible. 2.give one of your sentences a future aspect (e.g. will, going to). 3.write sentences using negatives such as not, neither, nobody and never.
