A simple subject is a noun (person, place, or thing) or pronoun that is doing the action (the verb). The word order in a basic English sentence is subject, verb, object ( the object is the 'receiver' of the action).

Example sentence: The man saw the bus. In this sentence the man is the one who is doing the action (see/saw) the man is the subject, see is the verb (past tense) and bus is the object.

However, subjects can also be a clause.

Exmple sentence: What we need is a sharp knife. In this sentence the noun clause what we need is the subject, but because there is no noun or pronoun doing the action, this is not a simple subject.

What is simple subject and what is simple predicate?

The complete subject of a sentence tells what the sentence is about. The huge, green, slimy alien from Mars waved to us. The "huge, green, slimy alien from Mars" is the subject. The simple subject also tells who or what the sentence is about, but it doesn't have all the descriptive words (adjectives). The simple subject is just a single noun. The huge, green, slimy alien from Mars waved to us. So the simple subject is "alien". Same goes for simple predicate, the main verb without adverbs.
