Subject, predicate, object, adverbial, modal verb, preposition, object table, object complement, subject complement

the parts that make up a sentence are called sentence components. English sentence components include subject, predicate, predication, object, object complement, attribute, adverbial and so on.

The order is generally subject, predicate, object and object complement, while the position of predicative, attributive and adverbial depends on the situation.

1. Subject

The subject indicates the person or thing that the sentence mainly explains, and is generally acted by nouns, pronouns, numerals and infinitives.

Helikeswatch'ingTV. He likes watching TV.

2. Predicate

Predicate describes the action, state or characteristics of the subject.

can be generally divided into two categories:

1), simple predicate

is composed of verbs (or phrasal verbs).

there can be different tenses, voices and moods.

p>Westud'yforthepeo'ple' ple. We learn for the people.

2), compound predicate: modal verb+infinitive

I can speak English a little.

3. Predicate

Predicate is a part of a predicate, which is located after a copula verb such as be, indicating the identity, characteristics, attributes or state of the subject. Generally, nouns, pronouns, adjectives, adverbs, infinitives, prepositional phrases, etc.

p>Mysis'terisanurse. My sister is a nurse.

4. Object

The object indicates the object of the action, followed by the transitive verb, and there are nouns, pronouns, numerals and infinitives that can be used as objects.

welikeng 'lish. We like English.

Some transitive verbs can take two objects, often one refers to a person and the other refers to a thing. The person refers to an indirect object and the thing refers to a direct object.

Hegavemesom'eink. He gave me some ink.

Some transitive verbs need a complement after the object to complete the meaning, and the object and its complement form a compound object. We elected him as our monitor.

5. Attributive

A component that modifies a noun or pronoun in a sentence is called an attribute.

adjectives, pronouns, numerals, nouns, adverbs, infinitives, prepositional phrases and so on are mainly used as attributes. Adjectives, pronouns, numerals, nouns, etc. are usually placed in front of the modified words when they are used as attributes.

Heisanewstu'dent. He is a freshman.

But when adverbs, infinitives and prepositional phrases are used as attributes, they are placed after the modified words.

Thebikeintheroomismine.

6. Adverbials

Modifying verbs, adjectives, adverbs and sentence elements of a whole sentence are called adverbials. Adverbs, prepositional phrases, infinitives and clauses are usually used as adverbials. Adverbials are usually placed after modified words or at the end of sentences. Adverbs as adverbials can be placed before modified words or at the beginning of sentences.

p>HelivesinLon'don.

7. Complement

is used to explain the state or ongoing action of the object or subject, because some verbs in English still have incomplete meanings after adding objects, such as: make (make ...), ask (please) and so on. If we say: we make our motherland. This is not a complete sentence. It should be said that we make our motherland more beautiful. This is "beautiful" as a complement to adjectives, indicating the state of the motherland. The English sentence is: we will make our country more beautiful. The words or phrases used as complements are adjectives, adverbs, nouns, infinitives, ing forms, numerals and so on.

8. The object complement

is the complement of the object, that is, the

example: I know you are studying good at maths

In this sentence, good at maths is the complement.

The object complement can also be a sentence, so this sentence can also be:

I know you are a student who is good at maths

or -ing

I see you crossing the street

In short, it is to supplement and explain the components of the subject and object. Therefore, There are subject complement and object complement. The above two examples are all good. It's just that the sentence example of hot snow and cold object complement is not very appropriate. His example is an attributive clause, and the subject complement can be a predicative, such as: Tom is a student.student is the explanation and explanation of Tom. In addition, Tom was seen playing on the playground. In this sentence, playing is the explanation of Tom and the main complement.
