Re: Plz Correct me !

Thanks Goodman!

Could anyone tell me, in descriptive writing what tense usually writer choose.

And Guys please reply my 2nd post last two sentenses as well. And explain we can separate verb and subject i.e mirror and curtain, by using comma for emphasis like Feebs did?

Third sentence, I have made some changes. Please check this as well.

The soft curtain hanging and swinging [I am not using comma because it will separate both curtain Subject and hanging Verb] over the rood with moving winds and touching my chair [or desk] unintentionally. [This adverb is appropriate fits?]

Or following structure seemed less congested

The soft curtain hanging over a rood, and swinging with moving [can use melodious or rythemetic or some word instead of moving?] winds; [semicolon used here or comma ?] somehow, [comma is ok here?] unintentionally touches my chair at constant intervals. [puntucation is correct ?]

And what about this similar sentence grammar?

Above window, long rood holds the curtain from the upper edge of window. Is it ok to use and we would this underline part direct object ?

I request to explain each of these three versions with punctuation i used

Thanks !

Identify the functions of verbs in the sentence below by labelling them Vt (transitive), Vi (intransitive), Vd (dative), Vf (factitive), Vc (copulative) & Vs (sense)

Q1: He was last seen (vs) being given a large amount of money outside a bank.

Q2: In the late nineteenth century, Chinese secret societies became (vc) obessive about the possession of silver to such an extent that voilence often flared up among them.

Q3: Since the first astronaut landed (vi) on the moon, mankind has explored (vt) the idea of travelling to Mars.

Q4: The crowd was (vc) getting larger and more agitated when, at last, the police happened (vi)

Q5: Since he was (vc) always reliable and systematic, the committee unanimously voted (vf) Mike Treasurer.

I have tried to underline the main verb for each sentence but not sure whether I'm on the right track. Please enlighten.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi Anon, "Please enlighten." Too much light??

I think these terms have been invented by the ESL community and are a little tough for "native speakers" who are not trained ESL teachers. There's some overlap and ambiguity.

Transitive and intransitive are of course basic native English grammar school material. Every verb is one or the other, and often both, but not at the same time.

Q1: [to see] (Vt) - passive voice (vs would be You look funny.) [I may get clobbered on this.]

Q2: [to become] okay (links to predicate adjective obsessive)

Q3: [to land] okay (no object) [to explore] okay (direct object=idea)

Q4: [to get - in the intransitive sense of to become] okay (links to adjectival phrase larger and more agitated) [why not underline both parts as you did in Q1: ?] [to happen] okay

Q5: [to be] okay (links to adjectival phrase [always] reliable and systematic) [to vote] okay (two direct objects)

Re: Indirect and Direct Objects

Hi,

AM i doing this right. Please help

Direct Objects and Indirect objects. Underline the verb in each sentence. Then write DO above the direct object and IO above the indirect object.

IO DO

1. The store gave the contest winner a free trip.

IO DO

2. The coach bought his soccer team pepperoni pizzas.

IO DO

3. Thomas handed the taxi driver a generous tip.

You seem to be correct about the sequence of the objects here. However, in #1 and #2, what you have underlined is not the verb.

Best wishes, Clive

Re: Nominative pronouns and objective

Anonymous — Wed, 03 May 2006 05:54:52 GMT

Nominative pronouns are used as subjects of the sentence or clauses. If you are unsure as to which word is the subject, restate the sentence by placing who or what in front of the verb.

these words are examples of nominative pronouns in a sentence, its just like a story it comes in first,second, and third person.

first person singular is I and first person plural is WE

second person for singualr and plural is YOU

third person for singular is HE,SHE,IT and plural is THEY

Objective: Objective pronouns are used as direct and indirect objects. As with most other sentence parts, a direct or inderect objecet can be located easy once the verb is found. To find a direct object, place whom or what after an action verb.

Objective words to look for in a sentence:

first person singular is ME and plural is US

second person singular and plural is YOU

third person singular is HIM, HER, IT and plural is THEM

just identify the words underline them and then take it from there. i know its confusing they all look the same to me LOL!!

Clauses adn Direct Objects

Anonymous — Wed, 26 Oct 2005 01:36:20 GMT

Put brackets around the subordinate clause, adn underline teh independent clause in this complex sentence. Then write DO in paranthesis after the direct object.

After he had returned, Enrique told Armando the truth.

[After he had returned], Enrique told armando the truth(DO).

Is this right or am i way off i don't know if i understand this to much.
