Appendix A Basic Grammatical Data A. Parts <strong>of</strong> Speech—Communication through language utilizes words which have been assigned certain functions. This gives us the various types <strong>of</strong> words which we call the parts <strong>of</strong> speech. Noun: names a person, place or thing, e.g. apostle, city, book. Verb: describes action regarding noun, e.g. read, rejoice, write. Adjective: describes, limits or qualifies noun, e.g. faithful, great. Pronoun: used instead <strong>of</strong> noun, e.g. I, you, he, she, they, it. Adverb: describes, limits or qualifies verb, e.g. truly, quickly. Preposition: placed before a noun to relate to other words, e.g. in, to, for, beside, among, with, by. Conjunction: joins together words, phrases, clauses, e.g. and, but. These parts <strong>of</strong> speech are joined together to make a: Sentence: a group <strong>of</strong> words expressing a complete thought. Phrase: a grammatical unit without subject or verb, modifying the sense or the main thought <strong>of</strong> a clause or sentence. Clause: consisting <strong>of</strong> a subject and a predicate expressing the main thought or a dependent or subordinate thought. (More detail on phrases and clauses follows) Paragraph: containing a block <strong>of</strong> thought related to one theme. B. Nouns have Case—(rather a lost feature <strong>of</strong> English, but not in foreign languages) Nominative: the subject, e.g. Abraham believed God. Genitive: possession or description, e.g. the gospel <strong>of</strong> God. Dative: indirect object, e.g. preach the gospel to the Gentiles. Accusative: direct object, e.g. send Timothy. C. Verbs have: Person: 1st, 2nd, or 3rd, e.g. I say, you say, he says. Number: Singular or plural, e.g. I say, we say. Tense: time relationships a. Present…I go (or I am going) b. Past…I went c. Future…I shall go d. Present Perfect…I have gone e. Past Perfect…I had gone f. Future Perfect…I shall have gone Voice: relationship <strong>of</strong> action to subject a. Active (The subject does the acting) e.g. Timothy taught b. Passive (The subject is acted upon) e.g. Timothy was taught <strong>Basics</strong> Of <strong>Bible</strong> <strong>Interpretation</strong> – page 125
