  1. I think people are probbaly afraid to leave comments, man. LOL And, I am enjoying the instruction immensely. Thank you so much for the teaching of this subject which is so very important for those who wish to be correct.

  2. I always find it confusing about how concepts like subject and object are taken as a given. I find them some of the hardest concepts to nail down. We always introduce people to syntax with stuff like SVO. However, it completely presupposes an understanding of things like word class. It also leads lots of people to assume that subject means the same thing as agent, and it all goes fine until they hit passive constructions. Personally I think the subject-predicate distinction is the best starting point. It gives a better entry level understanding of syntax and doesn't get bogged down by being conflated with squishy semantic notions.

  3. Thank you so much for jotting down these complex topics into easy bits. it has helped us a lot as non-native English speaker we do not normally learn these things in schools.

  4. Just an observation: SUKI in Japanese isn't a verb, actually is an adjective. It's a little complicated. So if you want to change you're example, you could use: Boku wa niku wo taberu – I eat meat. (Boku wa will be the Subject, niku wo will be the direct object and taberu will be the verb).

  5. Any thoughts on the criminal act by use of ‘fraudulent conveyance of language’?

  6. In Greek it's all the forms:
    Ο Γιάννης αγαπάει τη Μαρία SVO
    Αγαπάει, Ο Γιάννης τη Μαρία VSO
    Αγαπάει την μαρία, Ο Γιάννης VOS
    Τη Μαρία αγαπάει Ο Γιάννης OVS
    Τη Μαρία Ο Γιάννης αγαπάει OSV
    Ο Γιάννης τη Μαρία αγαπάει SOV

  7. No English teacher can be a good teacher unless or until he/ she is with a good sense of linguistics. I'm getting a great help from this. Thanks to all.
