The Grammar of English Grammars: Sentences, Articles, and Cases

A Sentence is an assemblage of words, making complete sense, and always containing a nominative and a verb; as, "Reward sweetens labour." The principal parts of a sentence are usually three; namely, the SUBJECT, or nominative, -the attribute, or finite VERB, -and the case put after, or the OBJECT governed by the verb: as, "Crimes deserve punishment." Articles relate to the nouns which they limit: as, "At a little distance from the ruins of the abbey, stands an aged elm." "See the blind beggar dance, the cripple sing, The sot a hero, lunatic a king." A Noun or a Pronoun which is the subject of a finite verb, must be in the nominative case: as, "The Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things; and they derided him."-Luke, xvi, 14. "But where the meekness of self-knowledge veileth the front of self-respect, there look thou for the man whom none can know but they will honour."-Book of Thoughts.Author: Goold BrownPublisher: Innovate Book PublisherPublished: 02/28/2024Pages: 228Binding Type: PaperbackWeight: 1.19lbsSize: 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.48dISBN: 9781805475972
