The Elements of a Sentence are-Subject, Predicate, (a) Direct Object and Complement; and any one of these may have one or more Adjuncts.

The Subject and Predicate are essential; the Direct Object (6) and Complement, though not in all cases necessary, are so in their own sentences.

The Indirect Object belongs, strictly speaking, to the Adverbial Adjuncts to the Predicate. As, however, great importance belongs to an Object, it is perhaps convenient, in analysing, to bring this into greater prominence, and to place it in Column III.

III.

Adverb-Sentence of time,
place, comparison,
cause, condition, pur-
pose, consequence, con-
cession.

Noun-Sentence used ad-
verbially.
