STEP-BY-STEP DESCRIPTION OF SYNTACTIC ANALYSIS

The Grammatical Sentence – The Subject

Theory:

Introduction.

Syntax: It is the part of Grammar that studies the sentence and its classes.

The grammatical sentence.

A stork has built its nest in the tower - It makes complete sense.
The mirror in my grandmother's bathroom - It doesn't make complete sense.

Definition: The sentence is the smallest unit of communication that makes sense.
complete.

•Features: Go between pauses Go between points

Elements of the sentence.

Alberto was driving at high speed. Those greyhounds are very fast.
subject predicate predicate subject

Subject (P)

It is the person or thing about which we say something.

To locate it, one asks Who? Or Who? to the verb.

Alberto was driving at high speed

S
Predicate (P).

It is what we say about the subject.

It is very easy to locate since it is what is not subject.

Those greyhounds are very fast

• ATTENTION!

The subject does not have to go at the beginning of the sentence.

The noun phrase (NP).

Margarita, my friend from León, she.

Definition: A group of words that accompany a noun which we call

nucleus (N).

Elements: They are words that determine or complement the noun (core).

Classes of subjects.

Reflect on the subjects:

Alfonso runs a lot They run a lot

My cousin Andrea runs a lot They run a lot

Express subject (S).

It is the one that appears in the sentence and we will call it Subject (S).

Alfonso runs a lot

S

Omitted or elliptical subject (OS).

It is the subject that does not appear but reveals the verb to us. We will call it
omitted subject (OS).

They run a lot.

to be nor to seem.

Definition: It is a word that complements both the verb and a

noun. In the previous example, 'sick' tells us how my cousin arrived and that
I was sick.

Locate it: It is an adjective that seems like an attribute but does not include 'to be' or 'to be'
opinion.

If we change the gender or number of the subject, the predicate also changes.

The movie turned out boring.

C Pred

It looks like an attribute and if instead of 'movie' we put 'the match',

one must put 'bored'.

directly the action of the verb. The verbs that take a direct object are called
transitive.
Definition: Direct object is the person or thing that receives
directly the action of the verb.
To locate it: You are asked What is it? to the verb

The question sometimes doesn't help.

Juan was combing his son.

What was he/she combing? or Who was he/she combing?

One must resort to replacing it with the unstressed personal pronouns lo, la,
the, the.

The substitution may not be useful to us as we could be readers.

Juan combed him or Juan combed it.
The solution is to put the complement in feminine and then substitute it.
Juan was combing his daughter. Juan was combing her hair.

If for the feminine it is 'la', for the masculine it is 'lo' (Juan styled him) and for it
it is so CD.
Juan was combing his son.

The indirect object (IO):

The pilot gave a gift to his wife.

•Action: The direct action of the verb + direct object (goes indirectly) to his
woman" that is why it is said that "to his woman" is the indirect complement (CI).

indirectly the action of the verb.
To locate it: Ask 'To whom?' or 'For whom?' to the verb.

CI
It can be replaced by 'porle', 'lesose'.
Antonio asked him about the lesson. Antonio asked it of him.

Do not confuse with the CD. Put in feminine if necessary.
