What is subject?

According to an Aristotelian tradition, the subject is technically one of the two essential components of a clause, together with the predicate, which describes the subject (associated with phrase structure grammars). The subject is the main overt argument of the predicate, according to a tradition connected to dependency grammars and predicate logic. According to this idea, there are arguments-enabling subjects in every language, but it is difficult to define subjects in every language. Even in languages like English, the semantic predicand and the subject are not always perfectly matched because a predicate may be dependent on an argument in another phrase.

In this sentence which is given in the question, "He drove the van to a nearby game preserve.", "drove" is the verb so it is working as a simple predicate. and the word "he" is the noun or pronoun so it is working as a simple subject.
