If $G$ and $H$ are two groups, how do I show that the map $\phi:G\times H\to G$ such that $\phi((g,h))=g$ is a surjective homomorphism but not an isomorphism?

Show Surjective Homomorphism but Not Isomorphism

An isomorphism is a bijective homomorphism.
Now, $\ker \phi = \{ (1,h) : h \in H \}$ and so $\phi$ is injective iff $H=1$.
