"Grammar is the logic of
speech, even as logic is the grammar of reason."
Richard C. Trench
"A
simple complete sentence consists of a
subject
and a
predicate.
The subject is typically a
noun phrase,
though other kinds of phrases (such as
gerund
phrases) work as well, and some languages allow subjects to be omitted.
The predicate is a finite
verb phrase:
it's a finite verb together with zero or more
objects,
zero or more
complements,
and zero or more
adverbials.
