This session, we are going to discuss the basics of sentence structure.
Subject- The subject has the grammatical function in a sentence of relating its constituent (a noun phrase) by means of the verb to any other elements present in the sentence, i.e. objects, complements and adverbials. Example: Pandora hit his fraccion. In this sentence, Pandora is the subject.
Predicate- A predicate is an expression that can be true of something- it is one of the two main parts of a sentence (the other being the subject, which the predicate modifies). Example: "Sanzo is crabby" Sanzo acts as the subject, and is crabby acts as the predicate, a subsequent description of the subject headed with a verb.
Verb- A verb conveys action or a state of being.
SPACEERSIntransitive Verb- the verb only has a subject. For example: "he runs", "it falls".
SPACEERSTransitive Verb- the verb has a subject and a direct object. For example: "she eats sushi", "we hunt nothing".
SPACEERSAdverb- Typically answer questions such as how?, in what way?, when?, where?, and to what extent?. In English, they often end in -ly.
Object- Objects fall into three classes: direct objects, adpositional objects, and non-prepositional indirect objects.
SPACEERSDirect Object- A direct object answers the question "What?" or "Who".
SPACEERSIndirect Object- An indirect object answers the question "To whom?" or "For whom?". An indirect object is the recipient of the direct object, or an otherwise affected participant in the event. There must be a direct object for an indirect object to be placed in a sentence.
SPACEERSObject Complement- Renames or describes the direct object. Example: The shinigami named Suzuran 'that crazy b***h'. In this sentence, the shinigami are the subject, the verb is named, the direct object is Suzuran, and the object complement is 'that crazy b***h'.
Noun- A noun is a person, place, or thing.
SPACEERSProper Noun- Nouns representing unique entities (such as Mikoto, Rukongai, Sai or Taichou.)
SPACEER)Common Noun- A noun that can be preceded by an indefinite article, and denotes any member, or all members of a class; an ordinary noun such as "dog" or "city."
Adjective- An adjective is a describing word which tells more about the noun.
