I have figure out the subject and verb of the sentence but i don't get it.
1. Bats are warm-blooded mammals.
2.I like to study bats.
3.Bats pollinate many beautifil trees and tropical shrubs.
4.they are also the only mammals that can fly.
5.They eat mosquitoes and many of the bug that destroy crops.
6.Many people don't like them.
7.many people think that they are birds.
8.Bats cannot see very well.
9. Their babies are born alive.
10 Bats are nocturnal animals.
I guess the subject is bat for each sentence but what bout the verb.

1. S-Bats, V-are
2.S-I, V-like
3.S-Bats, V-pollinate
4. S-they, V-are
5. S-They, V-eat
6.S-people, V-do like
7.S-people, V-think
8.S-Bats, V-cannot see
9.S-babies, V-are born
10. S-Bats, V-are
Okay so, the verb is the thing that you can do. i.e. you can be something, eat something. The subject is the thing that the verb describes the action of.
I hope that this helped

Subject is the who of the sentence. ask yourself who, or what is doing the action. for these sentences, the subject, or the who or what would be : 1. bats, 2. I, 3. bats, 4.they, 5. they, 6.many people, 7. many people, 8. bats 9. their babies, 10. bats.
verbs are action words. so look for what the who ar what is doing. for these sentences: 1. ARE warmblooded animals, 2. LIKE to study bats (this one has 2, like is a verb, so is study), 3. POLLINATE many trees, 4. ARE the only mammals that can't fly, 5. EAT mosquitoes, 6.DON'T LIKE them, 7. THINK, 8.CAN'T SEE, 9.ARE born, 10. ARE nocturnal. (i capslocked the actual verbs, because i'm not sure if your teacher want s you to put the whole clause, or segmanet of the sentence)
do you see the patterns? it will help if you ask yourself, "who/what is doing something?" for the subjects, and then "what are they doing?" to find the verbs. hope this helps!!

The subject is what or who is doing the action.
the action is the verb.
like #1
What are we talking about? "Bats" (subject), what are the bats doing? The bat "is" (verb) however this is in the past tense so its are.
#2
What are we talking about?
I
What is "I" doing?
"I" is liking (like is verb)

IT'S OBVIOUS, THE SUBJECT IS THE NOUN, WHICH IS A PLACE, PERSON, THING OR IDEA. THE VERB IS THE ACTION WORD.
