An intransitive verb expresses an action complete without an object. Copulative verbs (be and a few others) do not express action, but connect the subject with some other word, a predicate noun, or a predicate adjective. The subject of a verb, or a predicate noun or pronoun, is in the nominative case. The object of a verb, the indirect object, or the object of a preposition, is in the objective case. Give examples to illustrate each of these definitions. These definitions describe the complete analysis of simple sentences. A simple sentence has only one predicate. Later on you will study about other kinds of sentences, called Compound and Complex. 250. REVIEW LESSON CAPITALS. ABBREVIATIONS. PUNCTUATION A capital letter should begin: 1. Every sentence. 2. Every line of poetry. 3. Every direct quotation. 4. All proper nouns, and their abbreviations. 5. Names of the Deity. 6. The principal words in the titles of books. 7. Titles of honor and their abbreviations when used with proper names. 8. I and O. Common abbreviations which you should know are: A.M., P.M., B.C., A.D., Mr., Mrs., Dr., Rev., Hon., Prof., Col., Supt., Sec., Treas., Sr., Jr., Ave., Co., Dr., N.B., P.O., P.S., O.K., R.R., St., e.g., etc., i.e., No. A period is used: 1. At the end of a declarative or imperative sentence. 2. After an abbreviation or an initial. A question mark is used at the end of an interrogative sentence. An exclamation mark is used at the end of an exclamatory sentence or after words expressing very strong feeling. Review of Punctuation 233 The comma separates words, phrases, or clauses that should be kept apart in thought. It marks off from the rest of the sentence : 1. The name of the person spoken to. 2. A direct quotation or each part of a divided quotation. 3. The parts of dates or addresses. 4. Yes or no when part of an answer. 5. Each word in a series, where some of the conjunctions are omitted. 6. Any part of the sentence that is distinct from the rest. The semicolon marks a greater separation from the rest of the sentence than the comma. The hyphen separates parts of a compound word; and separates the syllables of a word running over from one line to another. The apostrophe denotes (1) possession, (2) the omission of letters in contractions. Quotation marks inclose every direct quotation or the parts of divided quotations. Single marks of quotation inclose a quotation within a quotation. BOOKS FOR BOYS AND GIRLS IN GRADES FOUR, Æsop's Fables. Arabian Nights. FIVE, AND SIX MYTHS AND FAIRY TALES Andersen's Fairy Tales.
