Use this template to learn about the syntax and understand phrase components and subordinate clauses. The components of the sentence are subject, predicate, object, predicative, attribute, and adverbial. These are used to form different types of sentences: simple sentences, compound sentences, and complex sentences. In linguistics, syntax is the set of rules, principles, and processes that govern the structure of sentences in a given language, usually including word order. A compound sentence is a sentence that has at least two independent clauses joined by a comma, semicolon or conjunction. An independent clause is a clause that has a subject and verb and forms a complete thought. Create your own compound sentences, using the coordinators above. When independent clauses are joined with coordinators (also called coordinating conjunctions), commas and semicolons, they do more than just join the clauses. They add meaning and flow to your writing. A complex sentence is a sentence that contains an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. Attributive clauses serve as an attribute to a noun (pronoun) in the main clause. This noun or pronoun is called the antecedent of the clause. An adverbial clause is a group of two or more words that function as an adverb in a sentence. An appositive clause follows another noun or noun phrase in apposition to it; that is, it provides information that further identifies or defines it. The subject clause is a dependent clause that acts as a subject. A predicative clause may be introduced by conjunctions - that, whether, whether... or, as, as if, as though, because, lest, the way - or connectives. The object clause is a phrase on which a verb performs an action. It falls at the end of a sentence, and is governed by a verb or a preposition.

An adverbial is an individual word (that is, an adverb), a phrase, or a clause that can modify a verb, an adjective, or a complete sentence. The attribute is defined as a quality or characteristic of a person, place or thing. The predicative is defined as an adjective or noun forming or contained in the predicate. Traditional grammar defines the object in a sentence as the entity that is acted upon by the subject. The indirect object identifies the person/thing for whom/which the action of the verb is performed. The direct object is the receiver of the action mentioned in the sentence. The predicate of a sentence is the part that modifies the subject in some way. Because the subject is the person, place, or thing that a sentence is about, the predicate must contain a verb explaining what the subject does and can also include a modifier. The subject of a sentence is the person, place, thing, or idea that is doing or being something. You can find the subject of a sentence if you can find the verb. Mindmappen helpen je brainstormen, relaties leggen tussen concepten, organiseren en ideeën genereren. Lege mindmapsjablonen bieden echter een eenvoudigere manier om aan de slag te gaan, omdat het kaders zijn die informatie bevatten over een specifiek onderwerp met begeleidende instructies. In essentie zorgen mindmapsjablonen voor de structuur die alle elementen van een specifiek onderwerp combineert en als startpunt dient voor je persoonlijke mindmap. Ze zijn een hulpmiddel om een praktische oplossing te bieden voor het maken van een mindmap over een bepaald onderwerp, zowel voor het bedrijfsleven als voor het onderwijs. Mindomo brengt je slimme mindmap templates waarmee je moeiteloos kunt functioneren en denken. Je kunt kiezen uit verschillende mind map templates van Mindomo's zakelijke of educatieve accounts, of je kunt je eigen mind map templates maken. Elke mindmap kan getransformeerd worden in een mindmap template map door extra notities toe te voegen aan één van de onderwerpen.Syntax Template
