Sentence


* a grammatically complete thought
== Terminology ==
** grammatically complete = contains a finite verb (subject-verb)
* clause
** a part of a sentence that contains a finite verb (a verb that has a subject)
* complement
** a word, phrase, or dependent clause that adds information to a subject or verb (as part of the predicate)
* finite verb
** a verb that has a subject
** it is "finite" because it is "bound to" or associated with a subject
* infinitive
** the "to" form of a verb
*** ex. ''to be'', ''to play'', ''to believe''
*** infinitives can act as a noun, adjective, or adverb
* non-finite verb
** a verb that does not have a subject
** and it therefore does not act as a verb, and instead acts as a noun (called "gerund"), adjective, or adverb
*** non-finite verbs are either '''participles''' or '''infinitives'''
**** (note: not all participles are non-finite)
* object
** a noun or noun phrase that is the recipient of a verb or preposition
*** ex.
**** ''She kicked the ball'' ("ball" = object or "kicked")
**** ''He ran to school'' ("to school" = prepositional phrase complement of the verb "ran")
* participle
** the ''-ing'' or ''-ed'' form of a verb
* phrase
** two or more words that do not have a finite verb
** '''participle phrases''' and '''infinitive phrases''' are formed by the non-finite forms of verbs as either participles or infinitives
* sentence
** a grammatically complete thought
*** grammatically complete = contains a finite verb (subject-verb)
** logically complete = does not need more information to complete the thought
** logically complete = does not need more information to complete the thought

{{#mermaid: graph LR
  S(Studying)-->V(helps)--->NFV(to take)--->C(a test)
}}
* Grammatical forms:
{{#mermaid: graph LR
  S(subject/<br>gerund)-->V(finite verb)-->NFV(non-finite verb<br>infinitive object)-->C2(complement/<br> object of infinitive)
}}
* Parts of speech:
{{#mermaid: graph LR
  S( noun/<br>gerund)-->V(verb)--->NFV(infinitive<br>noun)--->C2(noun)
}}
==== Infinitive phrase example 2 ====
* Sentence:
''To study for a test is wise''
{{#mermaid: graph LR
  S(To Study)--->C(for a test)---->V(is)--->C2(wise)

}}

* Sentence:
''Studying for the test, students read the textbook''
