The predicate can be subject to the syntactic process of complication, thus,
according to their structural characteristics, predicates can be simple and
complicated. Therefore, eight types of predicates can be identified.
Simple verbal I took an apple.
Simple nominal The coincidence was extraordinary.
Simple
phraseological
He gave me a smile.
Simple contaminated He sat motionless.
Complicated verbal The girl began to cry.
Complicated
nominal
He turned out to be a thief.
Complicated
phraseological
You should have taken a look at the map.
Complicated
contaminated
He seemed to be lying asleep.
(Mind that Prof. Ilyish’s idea of simple and compound nominal predicate is
different from the traditional view. NB what he calls double predicate - Catherine's
blood ran cold with the horrid suggestions which naturally sprang from these
words. (J. AUSTEN))
3. The Secondary Sentence Parts
The Object
The complexity of the object as a sentence member makes difficult to work
out an adequate approach to describing this phenomenon. Different classifications
of objects have been proposed both by Russian and foreign scholars. The most
common ones are as follows:
1. Objects are divided into direct, indirect and prepositional
.
This classification is far from perfect since the principle it is based on is not
consistent. Direct and indirect objects are singled out on the basis of the contents
while prepositional objects are differentiated based on the formal feature (presence
of preposition). Besides, indirect and prepositional objects can overlap.
