how do pronouns change depending on whether it is in subject or object position.
up to the individual pronoun i just wanted to make a point that this happens with pronouns unlike nouns.
eg. subject- she, object- her
referent
the word to which a different word is referring. for example when pronouns are used, they will have a referent.
link verb
Verbs that link a subject with a word or phrase that tells more about the subject, e.g. be, is, am, seem, appear.
these come under the umbrella of stative verbs (all link are stative but not vice versa)
complement
A word, phrase or clause that follows a verb and which simply adds further information concerning, usually, the verb’s subject. eg. “happy” in “he is happy” or “I made him happy”
Hmm, what kind of compliment is this i wonder?
uhh basically, i would just look for subject complement or object complement. (what is it complimenting by adding/ modyfing/whatever)
Determiner
modifiers that function to pre-modify and specify a particular noun e.g. the, a, some, many, those, these
co-ordinating conjunctions
These link equal units. Mostly just the words ‘and’, ‘but’ and ‘or’.
Subordinating conjunction
They attach a dependent clause that adds detail to a main clause. e.g. however, although, when, because (“He bought the phone even though he knew it was stolen”)
Interjection
Are used to suggest sudden emotional outbursts, e.g. ‘Ouch!’, ‘Hey!’
