He says what he means and he means what he says. You cannot have what you like, but you can like what you have. The laugher will be for those that have most wit, and the serious for those that have most reason. He that observeth the wind shall not sow, and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap. If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself; but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it. "Tis said with sorrow time can cope, But this I feel can ne'er be true. b. The Lord shall send upon thee cursing until thou be destroyed and until thou perish quickly. We thought as we hollowed his narrow bed And smoothed down his lonely pillow, How the foe and the stranger would tread o'er his head. I do not know how old you are Or whether you can speak.

Every sentence must have two parts, the Subject and the Predicate. The Subject is the word or words denoting the person or thing spoken about (or spoken to). The Predicate is what is said about or to the person or thing denoted by the Subject. 530. The Simple Subject may be (1) A Noun. (2) A Pronoun. (3) An Adjective used as a Noun. (4) An Infinitive. (5) A Gerund. (6) A Noun Clause. 531. The Object may be (1) A Noun. (2) A Pronoun, etc. [like the Subject (par. 530)]. 532. The Attribute may be (1) An Adjective. (2) A Noun, etc. [like the Subject (par. 530)]. Also, (8) A Prepositional Phrase. 533. A Noun or Pronoun, whether used as the Subject, the Object, the Attribute, or the object of a Preposition, may be enlarged by (1) An Adjective. (2) A Noun or Pronoun in the Possessive Case. (3) A Noun in Apposition. (4) A Participle or a Participle with Adjuncts. (6) An Infinitive Phrase. (7) An Adjective Clause. 534. An Infinitive or a Gerund, whether used as the Subject, the Object, the Attribute, or the object of a Preposition, may be enlarged by (1) An Object. (2) An Attribute. (3) An Adverbial Element. 535. The Simple Predicate consists of (1) An Intransitive Verb, or (2) A Transitive Verb with its Object, or 536. The Simple Predicate may be enlarged by (1) Adjuncts to the Verb (Adverbial Word, Phrase, or Clause Elements). (2) Adjuncts to the Object (see pars. 533 and 534). (3) Adjuncts to the Attribute (see pars. 533 and 534). When the Attribute is an Adjective, an Infinitive, a Gerund, or a Prepositional Phrase, it may be enlarged by Adverbial elements (word, phrase, or clause). 537. An Adjective Adjunct or an Adverbial Adjunct, as well as a Verb, may be modified by Adverbial Adjuncts, expressing time, place, degree, manner, cause, result, purpose, condition, or concession. 538. Any Adjunct of a Noun or a Pronoun is an Adjective Element (word, phrase, or clause). 539. Sentences are Simple, Complex, or Compound. 540. A Simple Sentence is one which has only one Subject and one Predicate; but either the Subject or the Predicate, or both, may be compound. 541. A Complex Sentence is one which, besides one principal Subject and Predicate (simple or compound), contains one or more Subordinate Clauses that have Subjects and Predicates of their own. 542. Subordinate Clauses are divided into (1) Noun Clauses. (2) Adjective Clauses. (3) Adverbial Clauses. 543. A Noun Clause may be in a Complex Sentence (1) The Subject. (2) The Attribute. (3) The Object. (4) The Object of a Preposition. (5) In Apposition. 544. An Adjective Clause always modifies some Noun or Pronoun. 545. An Adverbial Clause may modify a Verb, or a Verbal, an Adjective Element, or an Adverbial Element, and may be of the sorts mentioned in par. 537. 546. A Compound Sentence is one which consists of two or more Sentences, simple or complex, joined by Co-ordinating Conjunctions. SUPPLEMENT TO PART III. I. ANALYSIS BY DIAGRAMS.' 547. To diagram a sentence is to write it in such a way as to show the grammatical relations of its parts. Thus the sentence I wrote the letter to-day" may be diagrammed : I wrote | letter 548. In making a diagram, always draw first a horizontal line, and above this write the Simple Subject and the Simple Predicate, separating them by a vertical line crossing the horizontal line. The Simple Predicate (read again par. 463) may be merely an Intransitive Verb; or, as in the example above given, a Transitive Verb and its Object; or a Copulative Verb and the Attribute. The Object is to be separated from the Transitive Verb by a light vertical line, not crossing the horizontal line. An Attribute is separated from the Copulative Verb by a dash; thus, 549. (a) Adjuncts are always to be placed below what they modify, and either to the right or the left, at pleasure, as in the two diagrams already given. 1 See "Notes for Teachers," p. 325, Note 34. |
