There are three types of transitive verbs. They are monotransitive verbs, ditransitive verbs and complex transitive verbs.
Concord relates to the agreement between grammatical items. It therefore means that the feature or the characteristics of one grammatical item affects the other. Let’s give a rundown on some of the rules of concord in the English Language.
Lexical verbs are arranged along the lines of regular versus irregular verbs; transitive versus intransitive groups; stative versus dynamic verbs; and, finite and non-finite verbs.
Verb BE has eight forms. They are: “is”, “am”, “are”, “was”, “were”, “be”, “being”, and “being” – altogether five finite and three non-finite verbs. There are two primary functions of the verb BE: (a) To show progressive aspect; and (b) To show passive voice.
There are basically four factors important to qualify any writing as good: grammaticality, acceptability, semantics, and elegance.

Clausal elements are linguistic items that make up the clause and allow for the breakdown of a clause into “syntactic elements”.
Both coordination and subordination involve the linking of units; however while the two units being linked in coordination are equal and at the same level, in subordination, one of the units being linked is subordinated to the other.
Commands or imperatives are sentences primarily used to instruct someone to do (or not to do) something.
To distinguish between direct and indirect objects, you should subject the sentence to a TO or FOR transformation.
A nominal group (also known as noun phrase) is a group that has a noun or a noun equivalent as its headword. The structure of a nominal group is usually “(M) H (Q)”. “M” stands for modifier, “H” for headword and “Q” for qualifier. The items in bracket are optional. Besides, the structure is unidirectional (“M” comes before “H” and “H” before “Q”).
There are three main subtypes of “Yes/No Questions” distinguished according to the different ways they are formed from the corresponding statements.
Word formation is the creation of new words and it involves processes such as derivation, conversion, blending, compounding, clipping, acronyms, abbreviations, eponyms, clipping, nonce, borrowing and calquing.
