To identify subjects in questions, use the same question when replacing pronouns with the intended subject. Examples of subjects in questions include "you", "you", and "he". Fake subjects can also occur, such as when "here" and "there" are used to point to something rather than being the subject themselves, as seen in the examples "Here is your change" where the subject is "your change", and "There are three puppies" where the subject is "three puppies".
