Allow me to pedantically point out the correct spelling is "pedantic."Grammar is the last desperate refuge of the pendantic.

For a simple example, take the sentence, "I like napkins." The speaker "I" is the subject, and the verb "like" indicates what the subject does. Napkins are the object, as they have the verb's action done to them. All complete sentences aside from commands have a subject (and some commands start with "you" for a subject), but many sentences have no objects, such as "Love hurts" or "rutabegas are cool."Do bear in mind that I haven't actually been formally taught grammar, really, so I have no clue what youmean by subjects and objects.
I was an unfortunate part of the last grade to be taught grammar at one of my schools. It was horrid, but getting rid of it probably wasn't a very good idea.Y'know, I don't think I ever was taught the difference between a verb and a noun.
I do remember we were taught some stupid little rhyming song about it, but to my frustration, we were never actually taught, y'know, *actual* grammer.
Lucky you! Grammar was a subject in all elementary school and junior highs, and we had two ours every weeks... (shivers)Y'know, I don't think I ever was taught the difference between a verb and a noun.
