xxx RULES AND DEFINITIONS. the Complete, the Incomplete, and the Complete Post-Continuous (73, 74). 23. A Verb agrees with its Subject in Person and Number (78). 24. "May," "can," "must," "will," " shall," "let," &c. are called Auxiliary Verbs (95). 25. " To" is omitted in the Infinitive after the Auxiliary Verbs, and after "see," "hear," "feel" (96). 26. An Infinitive may be used (1) as a Noun; (2) as an Adverb; (3) as an Adjective. 27. The Indirect Object of a Verb is the word or phrase answering to the question "For, or, to, whom?" "For, or, to, what? " when used after the Verb and the Direct Object (118). 28. When an active Verb taking two Objects is changed into the Passive Voice, one Object becomes the Subject of the Passive Verb, but the other is retained as Object (122). 29. Some Verbs, generally Intransitive, can take an Object bf a nature akin or cognate to the Verb, called the Cognate Object (125). 30. The Object is sometimes used Adverbially to denote extension, price, point of time (127-131). 31. The Subject, generally with a Participle, is sometimes used Adverbially (135). 32. A Noun or Pronoun, not Subject or Object of a Verb, but so connected with another Noun or Pronoun that we can understand between them the words "I mean," "that is to say," &c., is said to be in Apposition to the latter (137). 33. Nouns and Pronouns are used Subjectively when in Apposition to Subjects, and Objectively when in Apposition to Objects (138). 34. The (1) Intransitive Verbs "is," "looks," "seems," "appears," &c., and (2) the Transitive Verbs "make," "create," "appoint," "deem," " esteem." being used to express identity, and, as it were, to place one Noun or Pronoun in apposition with another, may be called Verbs of Identity, or Appositional Verbs (147). 35. Verbs of Identity, when Intransitive and Passive, take a Subjective Supplement; when Transitive, take an Objective Supplement (150). 36. "It" and "there" are sometimes irregularly used to prepare the way for the Subject or Object (151). 37. In a Conditional Sentence, (1) the Clause expressing the condition is called the Antecedent; (2) the Clause expressing the consequence of the fulfilnent of the condition is called the Consequent (167). 38. Auxiliary Verbs (when not following "if" or any other Conjunction expressing Condition) are used Indicatively, whenever they can be altered into the Indicatives of other Verbs (181).
