Fries's Structure of English, language teachers have described English words as falling into two broad types: those that belong in the dictionary like 'storm' and 'confabulate', called content or lexical words, and those that belong in the grammar like 'of' and 'the', called structure, function or grammatical words.
tl;dr: Structural Words are the meaningless little words in a sentence that make it flow or move from one important word to the next.
A supporting character<span> is a </span>character<span> in a narrative that is not focused on by the primary storyline, but appears or is mentioned in the story enough to be more than just a </span>minor character<span> or a cameo appearance.</span>
Explanation:
becomes rigid aasthough it's dead
In a house alone, an old person sits silently as snow comes down. He/She can hear horse trot by on the cobblestone road outside his house, never stopping to say anything. The sound echoes through the person's ears, all through the night, as the lonely fire burns bright.
That's what I imagine.
Hope this helps! Have a great day!
