Theorem
Let $S$ be a subring of the ring $\struct {R, +, \circ}$.
Let $\circ_S$ be the restriction of $\circ$ to $S \times R$.
Let $\struct {R, +, \circ}$ be a ring with unity such that $1_R$ is that unity.
Let $1_R \in S$.
Then $\struct {R, +, \circ_S}_S$ is a unitary $S$-module.
Proof
From Subring Module is Module: Special Case, we have that $\struct {R, +, \circ_S}_S$ is an $S$-module.
Then by hypothesis $1_R$ is the unity of $\struct {S, +, \circ_S}$.
Thus $\struct {S, +, \circ_S}$ is also a ring with unity.
It follows from Ring with Unity is Module over Itself that $\struct {R, +, \circ_S}_S$ is a unitary module.
