single part of speech.

The Phrase

prepositional - preposition + object and modifiers; act as adjectives or adverbs

infinitive - “to” + verb; act as adjectives, adverbs or nouns

appositive - renames, or identifies, a noun or pronoun

participial - past or present verb form + modifiers; acts as an adjective

gerund - an “-ing” verb form + its complements and modifiers; acts as a noun

absolute - a noun or pronoun followed by a participle

Clauses and PunctuationA dependent clause that appears at the beginning of a sentence must be separated from the independent clause in the sentence by a comma.

D,IAfter it snowed, the earth appeared serene and

magical. When two independent clauses are joined together in one sentence without a coordinating conjunction, they must be separated by a semicolon.

I;IThe monkey climbed; he liked the tall tree.

When two independent clauses are joined into one sentence by a coordinating conjunction such as “for,” “and,” “nor,” “but,” “or,” “yet,” or “so,” the writer must place a comma before the coordinating conjunction.

The Logic of Sentence Analysis

If the verb is action, then Do not look for a subject complement. Look for a direct object. If you find a direct object, then Look for an indirect object.

Find the subject/predicate set.

Is the verb ACTION or LINKING?

If the verb is linking, then Do not look for a direct object. Look for a subject complement.
