What is the subject in the sentence ira loves to read books in summer

Your answer would be that the subject of the sentence is "Ira".

Explanation:

The subject of the sentence above is the NP "Ira". A sentence is made up of two parts: the subject and the predicate. The subject includes the noun that is performing the action described in the predicate. In order to identify the subject of the sentence, you should ask the following question: who verb(ed)? That is, who loves to read books in summer? The answer to that question is the subject, the NP "Ira", while the VP "loves to read books in summer" is the predicate. The predicate is everything that is not the subject.

in macbeth, banquo, who in real life had willing in the murder of king duncan, is portrayed as a loyal subject of the king himself. many analysts believe that shakespeare had done this in order to king james, who supposedly was a direct descendant of banquo himself.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
