Give the prize to the poet. Give the prize to her. (object of the preposition to)

Appositive: Two nouns in a row, the second one gives a bit more dentification or iinformation about the first one.

Infinitive: the base form of a verb with to preceding the verb. Used in places where nouns, adverbs or adjectives could be used.

I would like to go with you. (direct object.)

We waited to cross the street. (adverb)

The meeting to discuss the proposal will be on Tuesday at 9 AM. (adjective)

Gerund: present participle form of a verb always ending in -ing used where a noun or pronoun would go. His favorite pastime is dreaming about sailboats. (predicate nominative)

Elliptical clause: Can be confusing if the missing words are unclear.

The elliptical clause often makes more sense when placed directly before the subject of the main clause that has been ellipsed:
