subjects
What monarchs rule
Subjects are things placed under something else—under discussion, under study, under authority.
In school, subjects are branches of knowledge: math, history, science.
A subject of conversation is what's being talked about.
In grammar, the subject performs the action of the verb.
A subject of a ruler or government is someone under their authority.
In experiments, subjects are people or animals being studied.
To subject someone to something is to expose them to it, often unpleasantly: They subjected him to hours of questioning.
