Sentences with Tacit Subject

Content

• Examples of sentences with an unspoken subject

The tacit subject (also called split subject or omitted subject) occurs in those sentences in which the subject is not expressed, but can be easily deduced. For example: We went on vacation. (Unspoken subject: us)

Sentences with an unspoken subject are bimembres, that is, they have a subject (who executes the action) and they also have a predicate (the action). In these cases, the sentence has enough grammatical elements to allow its existence to be inferred (conjugated verbs, pronouns, etc.).
