Glossary of Grammatical Terms
‘T’
1.Tense.  A grammatical feature of verbs and auxiliaries relating to time. Three verb forms indicate tense: the base form and the -s form (present) and the ed form (past). Note that “tense” in relation to the modal auxiliaries refers only to form, not to time.
2. Tensed verb. A verb string that includes T. In contrast, gerunds, infinitives, and participles have no tense marker. There transformation. A variation of a basic sentence in which the expletive there is added at the beginning and the subject is shifted to a position following be: “A fly is in my soup” — “There is a fly in my soup.”
3. Third-person singular. The personal pronouns he, she, and it. The term is also used in reference to the -s form of the verb. Transformational grammar (also called Transformational Generative, or T-G). A theory of grammar that attempts to account for the ability of native speakers to generate and process the sentences of their language.
4. Transitive verb. The verbs of Patterns VII through X, which require at least one compliment, the direct object, to be complete. With only a few exceptions, transitive verbs are those that can be transformed into the passive voice.
‘U’
1.Ungrammatical. Usage that does not conform to the rules that native speakers follow. Usage that varies from one dialect or speech community to another is not necessarily ungrammatical. “I am not coming” is an unacceptable usage to many, although it follows the “rules.” However, it is not part of the prestige, or standard, dialect and would be inappropriate in most formal and business situations. See also Grammatical and Edited American English.
‘V’
1.Verb. One of the four form classes traditionally thought of as the action word in the sentence. A better way to recognize the verb, however, is by its form, its -s and -ing ending; verbs also have an -ed and an -en form, although in the case of some irregular verbs these forms are not readily apparent. And every verb, without exception, can be marked by auxiliaries. Many verbs also have characteristic derivational forms, such as -6 (typify), -ize (criticize), and -ate (activate).
2. Verb phrase (VP). A verb together with its complements and modifiers; the predicate of the sentence is a verb phrase. See also Gerund phrase, Infinitive phrase, and Participial phrase.
3. Verb-expansion rule. The formula that describes our system for expanding the verb with auxiliaries to express variations in meaning. See Chapter 3.
4. Verb-expansion rule. The noun or noun phrase of direct address, considered a sentence modifier: “Mike, is that you?”
‘W’
1.What-cleft. See Cleft sentence.
2. Wh-question. A question that is introduced by an interrogative, such as who, which, when, where, why, or how, that asks for information of content, in contrast to a yes/no question.
‘Y’
1.Yes /no interrogative. The words if and whether (or not) that introduce nominal clauses that ask or suggest a yes/no question: “I wonder if Kim is coming”; “I wonder whether or not she coming.”
2. Yes /no question. A question that calls for a yes or no response. It is characterized by the opening auxiliary, in contrast to the interrogative that opens the wh-question: “Are you being served?” “Did the Orioles win?”
