    Question

    Read the following sentence and find out the subject nouns in them.
    They are playing basketball.

    1. They
    2. Playing
    3. Are
    4. Basketball

    hintHint:

    In a sentence, the subject is the doer of the action and the object is the receiver of the action. Both function as nouns and when we question the verb with "who" and "what"/"whom", we get the subject and the object as answers respectively.

    The correct answer is: They

      The correct answer is "They".
      In the given sentence, we get to know that they are playing basketball. Here, the action is playing basketball and "They" is performing that action of playing. Moreover, we get "They" as an answer when we question the verb "play" with "who". Though the word "They" is a pronoun, it functions just like a noun and is a valid substitution of noun. So, the correct subject noun is "They".
