Question

What grammatical structure is the italicized portion of the sentence?

Answer 1

Where is the sentence. Well, an italicized portion of the sentence is a word that is distinguished from others within the text.
Examples can be:
1. Titles--Books, movies, magazines, Plays, etc.
2. Names of Vehicles--
3. Foreign Words or Phrases--the abbreviation for the latin (et cetera) should be itlicized cuz it depends largely on your audience.
4. Words as Words--The word (basically) is often unnecessary and should be removed so it should be italicized.
5. For Emphasis--These rules (do not apply) to newspaper writing.
6. Words as Reproduced Sounds--(Grrr!) went the bear. Grrr! is italicized.
