What is the subject in the following sentence, please? "My name is Muhammad." * Now if the answer is "Muhammad"; the subject, what is the point of reversing the subject with the predicate nominative? "Muhammad is my name." In other words, how can I tell when I encounter such examples whether the subject is the noun or pronoun coming after the linking verb or before it??? I hope I make sense. Thanks in advance for your help :)

Correct or Wrong? and why? Kindly tell me if the modifiers in the following sentence are being used correctly or not and why? "Time passes real slowly during the summer" I think that slowly should be "slow" which makes "real" an adverb, but this makes me wonder how can the verb "pass" be modified by an "adjective"; "slow" !!? Thank you and best regards italki teachers :)
