Name what each word is doing — subject, verb, object, complement, modifier, preposition, conjunction.
The verb
the one word that changes with time
Subject, object, complement
the places around the verb
Modifiers and prepositions
what decorates
Conjunctions
what joins, in two kinds
No rule is measured here. Every later lecture assumes you can do this — count the verbs, find the subject, cover the modifiers.
