(Hint: Start with the person doing the action then write the verb they do.) The steering committee raised an objection to the proposed parking garage north of the stadium.

Explanation:

The subject of the sentence is the term that refers to the person, group or object that is performing an action to which the sentence refers. We can say that the subject would be the "protagonist" of the sentence, because it is through him that the action is established. However, to find the subject it is important that you find the verb of the sentence first. The verbp is a word that indicates an action being developed. Who does the action is the subject.

In the sentence shown in the question above, the action is "to raise" which is represented by the verb "raised". Who did this action was the "steering committee," which, therefore, the subject of the sentence.

The verb can be of the indirect transitive or direct transitive type. The verb is direct transitive when it has no meaning on its own and needs a complement. This complement is called a direct object and must accompany the verb for the message to be established. The indirect transitive verb has meaning when it is alone.

The verb "raised" shown in the sentence above is a direct transitive verb and needs a complement. In this case, the direct object is all the words that refer to the object being "raised", which in the case of the above sentence is "an objection to the proposed parking garage north of the stadium"
