Question

PLEASE HELP!!! The study of syntax is important to understand language acquisition. Research and explain what the subject, verb, and object are, with some examples. Also explain what a phrase, clause, and sentence are, in brief, with examples of each. And list and briefly explain the parts of speech in English (nouns, adjectives [including articles and determiners], pronouns, lexical and auxiliary verbs, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections) and provide examples of each.

Answer 1

Answer:The subject is the actor of the sentence, the person or thing doing the action. The verb is the 'doing word', the action of the sentence. The object is the element of the sentence that is acted on, that the verb is directed towards.

Explanation:A subject is a part of a sentence that contains the person or thing performing the action (or verb) in a sentence. ... In the sentence, the subject is "I" and the verb is "will call." Example: You were a great singer. In this sentence, the subject is "you" and the verb is "were."

Phrases are groups of words that act as a part of speech but cannot stand alone as a sentence. ... Clauses are groups of words that have a subject and a predicate. Independent clauses express a complete thought and can stand alone as a sentence.
