We have so far considered elements chiefly with respect to their use in sentences, as that is the more important thing to be considered. As respects their form, the elements of simple sentences are word elements or phrase elements. 281. Word elements may be (a) the Subject, (b) the Object, (c) the Attribute, (d) the Verb (always regarded as a word element), (e) an Adjective modifier, including Adjectives, Participles, Nouns or Pronouns in Apposition, Nouns or Pronouns in the Possessive Case, (f) an Adverbial modifier, (g) a Connective element (Conjunctions), (h) an Independent element1 (as Interjections, Nouns used as Exclamations, or Nouns in the Nominative of Address; 2 also Preparatory there and it3). 282. Phrase elements may be (a) the Subject (an Infinitive), (b) the Object (an Infinitive), 1 In analysis an Independent element is to be mentioned as such. In diagraming it should be placed to one side and not connected with the other words. 2 See paragraphs 202, 204. See paragraphs 262-265. (c) the Attribute (an Infinitive or a Prepositional Phrase), (d) an Adjective modifier (an Infinitive or a Prepo(e) an Adverbial modifier S sitional Phrase). 283. From paragraphs 281 and 282 it is seen that the Subject, the Object, the Attribute, an Adjective modifier, and an Adverbial modifier may each be either a word element or a phrase element. Any part of speech, except a Preposition, may be a Word element. Phrase elements are, in form, Prepositional or Infinitive. ANALYSIS OF COMPOUND SENTENCES Read again paragraphs 149, 150, 151. 284. Sentences made up of two or more Simple Sentences connected by Copulative or Disjunctive Conjunctions are called Compound Sentences. 285. The members of a Compound Sentence are usually joined by expressed Conjunctions; as, They had been friends in youth, But whispering tongues can poison truth, And life is thorny and youth is vain. Here we have five coördinate members joined by Conjunctions. But the members of a Compound Sentence sometimes follow one another without expressed Conjunctions; as,The way was long, the wind was cold, The minstrel was infirm and old. We have here three coördinate members: 1. The way was long. 2. The wind was cold. 3. The minstrel was infirm and old. 286. In analyzing Compound Sentences treat each member as though it stood alone. Exercise 182. Analyze the following sentences. 1. Give me this apple and you take that. 2. Are you com ing soon, or shall I go now? 3. I am in no hurry, but I don't 4.
