Does english also sometimes omit the subject?

Question

Does english also sometimes omit the subject?
the other day I heard "Sounds great".
I think "it sounds great." is correct.
is it often common???
or a mistake???
is there any other example like this.
many in thanks.

Answer 1

Yes. It happens in two situations. 1) Like the example above: a) the subject is implied, b) the subject is the impersonal pronoun 'it.'

Also when two clauses are in one sentence and having the same subject.

For example,

Sodium loses an electron to chlorine and is happy this way.

But the sentence below is also acceptable

Sodium loses an electron to chlorine and IT is happy this way.

Answer 2

Yes, it is common if the subject does not need to be identified.

A good example is the imperative phrase.

For example;

Go to the store.

There is no subject because it is understood that the speaker means:

You must go to the store.

Hope this helps! (or should I say, "I hope this helps"?)

Answer 3

They certainly do. For example:
"Went to the store today..."
"Got a lot of homework tonight..."
and your example is good too.
I would not call this incorrect, but you defintely would never find it in any formal writing in English.

Answer 4

Yes it's common and happens often, mainly because we're lazy.

Answer 5

The subject is implied.
