Every English sentence should have a subject. In most English sentences, the subject usually appears before the verb. But in some sentences, the subject is used after the verb. There or it, we named these words expletives often appears before the verb.
e.g.
1) She is a good girl.("She" here is a subject in this sentence.)
2) In my hometown, it is very poor. ("It" here is a subject in this sentence.)
3) It is time to go to school now. ("It" here is a subject in this sentence.)
4) There are some people standing on the street.(This sentences have an expletive "there", we can rewrite this sentence, "Some people are standing on the street." "Some people" here is a subject, "are" is a verb.)
