"There is no story without Harry" – subject?
What is the subject in this sentence and what question can I use to find out?
Asking "who or what?" doesn't make sense here.

Does anyone recognize the comparison I'm looking for?
Hi guys, I've tried setting the meter several times but I'm having a lot of trouble and don't know what the difference is. I would be happy if someone knows the answer and can help me. Thanks in advance! Here is the task:
The verb in the main sentence is determined by the subject (nominative). The subject usually stands directly before or directly after the verb.
So, who or what is there?
The
P.S. The question is, of course, stupid. But it is only about finding the subject; and purely grammatically the question is correct.
Thank you, help me very much! (Toll by the way, how you always structure your answers and mark words bold, that makes reading very pleasant!)

The subject is “it”.
This is a special case for the fixed turn “there is”. Similar cases are, for example, “It’s difficult…” or “It hurts.”
Note that in many other sentences with “it” the function is different. This case must not be generalized here.
It.
Reduce the sentence so far that you can even understand what (“is giving” is clearly the verb…)
“There is” – okay, you can say even if you would ask directly for the object (“what?”).
All other combinations with “giving” do not make any sense, do they?
(Clar: “Harry Gives” Sounds meaningful, but that’s another story…)
Really?
WAS doesn’t exist without Harry? Answer: ES. This is representative of a subject.

Variant 1 b (Stylistic “es” at the beginning of the sentence)
Right answer: a story.
No. “No History” belongs together as a member and cannot be remodeled by the question so that it fits.
The question already involves such a transformation by the “not”.
My “in several ways wrong question” is just as “false” as yours, because it already contains the answer, which should not be. That’s exactly what I wanted to demonstrate.
I know. I only have yours in multiple respects
wrong question commented. In the context of this thread,
they are called “WHAT are there without Harry?” Right answer:
no story.
In any case, “no history” is a rechargeable object
and “It” is a (near) subject.
“Without whom is there no story?”
“Without the Harry”
If so, “Without WEN”. And that’s the wrong question about the subject.
Oh, my God, is that serious??? Then please don’t give any advice on grammar.
Are you kidding me?
Without whom is there no story? Without deN Harry. 😉
Hello, Chris.
Of course you don’t ask who or what?
It’s just in the battery: there’s no one or no story…
And you’re with the Harry. 😆
Just explained always goes.
Greetings, Renate.
