A Group-verb Predicate includes two or more related words: e.g. to have breakfast, to go to bed.
Examples: They will be making fun of us, my dear. (simple verbal predicate)
We should have done it better, (compound modal verbal predicate)
Your mother looks quite healthy, (compound nominal predicate)
When I went outside, it stopped raining, (compound aspective predicate)
I quickly had lunch and went out. (group-verb predicate)
3. The Object is a secondary part of the sentence which completes or restricts the meaning of a verb or sometimes an adjective, a word denoting state, or a noun.
e.g. My friends were very proud of me.
There are the following kinds of Objects:
e.g.I wear my uniform.
e.g. Give me that spoon, please.
e.g. He has already him about that news.
e.g. The teacher wants the student to make a report.
4. The Attribute is a secondary part of the sentence. It usually stands before
the word it modifies or, if this word has an article, the attribute stands between the article and the word. The Attribute may be expressed by an adjective or a participle, by some pronouns, by a numeral, by a noun in the Possessive Case, by a noun, by a prepositional phrase, by an infinitive or a participle construction, or by an attributive clause.
Examples: I know their address well.
In some cases the Attribute stands after the word it modifies:
1) when it modifies one of the pronouns built up from some, any, every, no;
e.g. We missed something very important.
2) when it is expressed by an adverb;
e.g. The room above was empty.
3) when it has some defining words of its own;
e.g. He lived in a house two stories high.
4) when it is expressed by a prepositional phrase;
e.g. The boy with grey eyes is my cousin.
5) when it is expressed by an infinitive or a participial construction;
e.g. The mountains covered with snow are beautiful.
6) when it is expressed by a subordinate clause.
e.g. The story that I am reading is very interesting.
5. The Adverbial Modifier. There are different kinds of Adverbial Modifiers: of
time, place, purpose, reason, result, degree, manner. Adverbial Modifiers may be expressed by adverbs, by participles, by an infinitive, by a noun in the function of an adverb, by a prepositional phrase or by a subordinate
adverbial clause. Adverbial Modifiers may stand in any place in the sentence, except between the predicate and the direct object.
Adverbial Modifiers of degree usually stand before the words they modify.
e.g. This information is especially important for me.
Adverbial Modifiers of definite time usually stand at the very end of the sentence or at the very beginning before the subject.
e.g. We have been to London this summer.
Adverbial Modifiers of indefinite time usually stand before the main verb of the predicate.
e.g. They seldom meet now.
Adverbial Modifiers of place usually stand either at the beginning or at the end of the sentence.
e.g. In Tashkent the tourists can see many places of interest.
Adverbial Modifiers of manner usually stand after the Adverbial Modifier of place or after object or predicate.
e.g. Madina speaks English well.
Adverbial Modifiers which are expressed by prepositional phrases usually stand after the words they modify.
e.g. The work will be finished within two hours.
