DO YOU KNOW THE CLAUSE TYPES?
I am studying morphosintaxis and in this unit we are seeing the clause types. For example:
SV: Subject + verb. Ex: The sun is shining.
SVC: Subject+ verb+ complement. Ex: He is getting angry.
SVA: Subject+verb+adverbial. Ex: My office is in the next building.
SVO: Subject+ verb+ object. Ex: The lecture bored me.
SVOO: Subject+ verb+ object+ object. Ex: I got her a splendid present.
SVOC: Subject+ verb+ object+ complement. Ex: He got his shoes wet in the rain.
SVOA: Subject+ verb+ object+ adverbial. Ex: You can put the dish on the table.
Well, my problem is that I don´t understand the difference between a complement and an object. For example in the sentence: We left home very early. home would be a complement or an object?
Please help me! I am an exam the next week :(
Thank you very much!
