To easiest way to determine the subject of a sentence is to first isolate the verb and then form a question by placing "who?" or "what?" in front of it. The answer to the question is the subject.

So, in the example "The fans in the stadium screamed loudly," the verb is ''screamed''. Asking the question, "Who screamed loudly?" gives the answer - and thus the subject: "The fans". The predicate provides us with more information about the subject, in this case it tells us they "screamed loudly."

One exception to this, is an '''imperative  sentence''', which gives a command or order. In this case, the subject - which is always "You" - is not stated, but is rather understood to exist in front of the verb, within the context of the sentence.
