He tacit subject Is that subject that exists even though it is not mentioned in the sentence. Although the pronoun is not, it can be deduced from the verbal conjugation.
Sentences with a tacit subject count the action that takes place but do not illustrate the subject or pronoun that identifies it. A sentence with a tacit subject will never mention the subject within the sentence.
They are the opposite of sentences with explicit subjects, since they clearly contain who is referring to the action of prayer. Likewise, unlike sentences with a tacit subject, explicit subjects use a personal pronoun or a possessive pronoun in the sentence. The tacit subject is also known as a morphological subject.
The tacit subject also exists in sentences that are coordinated and subordinate. These sentences indicate the subject in the first sentence; The actions of that subject are found in the context of the other sentences.
The tacit subjects occur when the sentence does not mention the one who performs the action, however it is obvious to whom the sentence is referring.
Many times tacit subjects happen in imperative statements because the verb is not accompanied by a subject. Since prayer is an order addressed to the person receiving the mandate, the tacit subject would be you.
Subjects seem to lack in tacit sentences. From there comes its name: although the subject is not written explicitly it is known that it is there in the same way.
Some common examples can be: I cut the ball, played with the cats, studied all the material assigned, etc.
