Q & A

What are accessory terms in a sentence?

Accessory terms are parts of a sentence that provide additional information, but are not essential to the main structure. These include the vocative, post, adjectival adjunct, and adverbial adjunct.

What is the role of the vocative in a sentence?

The vocative is used when directly addressing someone or something. It is typically placed between commas if in the middle or at the start of a sentence. For example, 'Madam, help me!'

How should a vocative be punctuated?

A vocative should be set off by commas when placed in the middle or at the beginning of a sentence. However, no comma is used before a vocative at the end of a sentence.

What does the 'post' term do in a sentence?

The post is used to add information to a sentence. It can be used to enumerate items or provide additional explanations, such as in 'I bought a lot of things on Black Friday: books, clothes, and a jacket.'

Can you give an example of the post term in a sentence?

Yes! For example, 'I bought a lot of things on Black Friday: books, clothes, and a jacket.' The post (colon and the following list) provides additional information.

What is an adjectival adjunct?

An adjectival adjunct is a word or phrase that modifies a noun. It is typically made up of pronouns, adjectives, numerals, or articles, and adds descriptive detail to the noun.

How does an adjectival adjunct modify a sentence?

An adjectival adjunct modifies a noun by providing more specific information about it. For example, in 'Your friends came here,' 'your' is an adjectival adjunct modifying 'friends.'

Examples of grammatical classes that function as adjectival adjuncts include pronouns, adjectives, numerals, and articles.

What is an adverbial adjunct?

An adverbial adjunct is a word or phrase that modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb, typically providing more information about how, when, or where something happens.

Can you provide an example of an adverbial adjunct in a sentence?

Sure! In the sentence 'He played well,' the word 'well' is an adverbial adjunct because it modifies the verb 'played' by describing how the action was performed.
