Spent ~25 mins reading the article and making the post.
I want to try this activity:
I’ve read Fallible Ideas – Grammar like 4 years ago. I practiced making trees for the grammar article, and I’ve posted some grammar trees on a chapter book on FI group. I don’t remember much about grammar and I think I could only do the simple sentences well.
English Language, Analysis & Grammar
It doesn’t cover some typical details like verb tenses or commas.
I forgot when to use commas. I’ll look it up for a refresh.
Step 2 – Subject
The subject is always a noun, and it’s the noun that does the verb.
That makes it easier to figure out the parts of speech of the sentence.
What’s the difference between an object and a complement? Objects go with action verbs, they’re always nouns, and they’re sometimes optional. Complements go with linking verbs, they’re nouns or adjectives, and they’re always required.
So objects are optional and will go with an action verb. A complement is not optional and go with a linking verb.
I stopped reading on Step 3 – Object or Complement. I think it’s a lot of reading for me and there’s a lot of stuff remember.
