"A work on english grammar and composition"


REVIEW.
TO THE TEACHER.--See suggestions, Lesson 16.
+Direction+.--_Review from Lesson_ 17 _to Lesson_ 21, _inclusive_.
Give the substance of the "Introductory Hints" (tell, for example, what
such words as _long_ and _there_ may be expanded into, how these expanded
forms may be modified, how introduced, what the introductory words are
called, and why, etc.). Repeat and illustrate definitions and rules;
illustrate fully what is taught of the position of phrases, and of the
punctuation of phrases, connected terms, and exclamatory expressions. How
many parts of speech are there?
Exercises on the Composition of the Sentence and the Paragraph.
(SEE PAGES 153-156.)
TO THE TEACHER.--See notes to the teacher, pages 30, 150.

LESSON 28.
NOUNS AS OBJECT COMPLEMENTS.
Introductory Hints.+--In saying _Washington captured_, we do not fully
express the act performed by Washington. If we add a noun and say,
_Washington captured Cornwallis_, we complete the predicate by naming that
which receives the act.
Whatever fills out, or completes, is a +Complement+. As _Cornwallis_
completes the expression of the act by naming the thing acted upon--the
object--we call it the +Object Complement+.
