Syntax is the set of rules, principles, and processes that govern the structure of sentences in a given language.

Subject: the subject of a sentence or clause is what performs the action of a verb.

Transitive verb: takes a direct object, a noun that receives the action of the verb. Cornelia hears a voice.  The loud voice scares Cornelia.  "Hear" and "scare" are transitive verbss.

Intransitive verb: does not take a direct object. Cornelia sits under the tree. Sextus falls out of the tree. "sit" and "fall" are intransitive verbs.

Linking verb: the most common linking verb is the verb "to be." It links the subject to a description of the subject. The description is called a "complement."

Direct Object: The noun which is the direct object of a transitive verb

Indirect object: a noun or noun phrase referring to someone or something that is affected by the action of a transitive verb (typically as a recipient), but is not the primary object (e.g. give him the book ; give the book to him).
