FANS this page may acknowledge the requirement included in the title of this post as the Second Commandment of Good Writing. (This was the March 23 this year ). It only gains in importance the First Commandment: No question runs . If all of us, the community of human beings that we use writing to communicate with others, did these two commandments case to considerably improve the quality of our writings.
The idea is simple: all simple prayer has subject , and this subject makes action expressed by a verb. This verb is part of predicate . What is more, all that is not the subject of the sentence has to be part necessarily predicate. The verb is the core predicate . We say that is the core because there are three possible components: the direct, the indirect and circumstantial one or more supplements.
The sentence shows that leads to this post is an example of a simple sentence. Has the peculiarity also be a very special kind of simple prayer: it is a predicate sentence . well call these sentences because they have a reversible structure: A = B or B = A . "John is my brother" or "My brother is John." This happens when the linking verbs (as be, apparently, be )'s still a noun or a noun phrase. In the case before us today, the subject is Win a laptop Acer Ferrari One . The verb - in this case, copula - is the most common of all: is . After this verb, which is the core of the predicate, the predicate is the rest: a privilege Santander Premier Membership . No accessories.
The nickname "predicate sentence" refers to the fact that the predicate can also be understood as a subject. The word nominal , we must not forget is Latin. When the ancient Romans spoke of the "nominative" referred to the subject of the sentence. Our grammar, originally modeled on it, still retains many of its features, including the use of the adjective nominal to refer to the subject. To put it soon, then a nominal predicate sentence is a sentence whose subject can be preached and whose predicate may be subject.
Anyway, anyway apply the Second Commandment of Good Writing: not separate core subject of the predicate with a comma . Thus, the only correct way to write what appears in the ad is this:
Win a laptop Acer Ferrari One is a privilege Santander Premier Membership.
Eye! The commandment speaks of "a coma." There may be two ... If you want to include parenthetical information, for example, between the subject of the sentence and the verb whose action performed, it would take two commas:
Win a laptop Acer Ferrari One , no easy feat, is a privilege Santander Premier Membership.
luck!
