"I believed every word he said." Is this sentence a verb phrase

English

No, this sentence is not a verb phrase, because the subject is not part of the verb phrase here.

Here's why. The subject is "I," the verb is "believed," and everything following the verb ("every word he said") forms the object of the verb. By definition, a verb phrase is one verb + its various objects or modifiers. Here, "every word he said" operates as one single object (it's not just one word, it's EVERY word, and it's not just every word, it's every word HE said). But the subject is separate from the verb phrase, so the entire sentence is not a verb phrase (it's a subject + a verb phrase).

How much does context matter<br>when expressing an idea in literature?<br>​
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

A lot!

Explanation:

It means so much, because you do not want to have a reader who is flipping through the pages of a story without knowledge of what is happening! Would you like to read a book that had random events happening all of the time with no explanation?

Is all afire, though none the flame may see.
pychu [463]

Answer:

1. Simile was used to compare the poet's heart to the salt-kilns by Tsunu's wave.

2. Hyperbole was used to exaggerate the condition of the author's heart by describing it as being aflame.

Explanation:

Simile is the direct comparison of two different things using 'like', and 'as'. Just as salt glazes were made by throwing salt to the kiln, so was the poet's heart.

Hyperbole is used to make an exaggeration. The poet's heart was described as being afire though nobody actually sees the flame. This is a form of exaggeration.
