Question

Please help me. Hi! Can somebody explain more about Infinitive as Subject, Object of the Verb, Object of the Preposition, Subject Complement and Appositive?

Answer 1

Infinitive is a grammatical term used to refer to certain verb forms that exist in many languages. As with many linguistic concepts, there is not a single definition applicable to all languages. The word is derived from Late Latin infinitivus, a derivative of infinitus meaning "infinite". Infinitives are used mostly as non-finite verbs.

Object: Generally, any item that can be individually selected and manipulated. This can include shapes and pictures that appear on a display screen as well as less tangible software entities. In object-oriented programming, for example, an object is a self-contained entity that consists of both data and procedures to manipulate the data.

Object of preposition: After a preposition, use whom not who.
After a preposition, use whether not if.
If you're going to say something like my wife and I, make sure it's the subject of your sentence, otherwise it should be me and my wife.
You can't say between you and I. It's between you and me.

Subject complement: In grammar, a subject complement is a predicative expression that follows a linking verb (copula) and that complements (completes) the subject of the sentence by either (1) renaming it or (2) describing it. In the former case, a renaming noun phrase such as a noun or pronoun is called a predicative nominal. An adjective following the copula and describing the subject is called a predicative adjective. In either case the predicative complement in effect mirrors the subject.

Appositive: An appositive is a noun or pronoun — often with modifiers — set beside another noun or pronoun to explain or identify it. Here are some examples of appositives (the noun or pronoun will be in blue, the appositive will be in red).

Sorry its a lot of reading, but I hope it helps a lot!
