The semantic rules are those that allow certain factors to be added to the writing allowing it to be possible to associate meanings with the symbols and words that may be present in the text. These rules allow writing to be cohesive and coherent, establishing communication between author and reader. In other words, these rules represent linguistic clues.
For this reason, we can say that the demonstrative choice of pronoun, negation and sequential placement are linguistic clues that reveal the semantic rules.
Just as nouns sometimes function as objects in a sentence, so can gerund phrases. Tim enjoys running with scissors. In this sentence, the gerund phrase running with scissors is the direct object of the verb enjoys.
