    Dear Ashish: I have a question for you. What would be the syntactic analysis of the sentence "I want to dance with you." I undersand that "want" is the verb but what would be the object? "to dance" or "to dance with you" ?

    Hi Teacher Ashish!
    I have watched your video lessons for months. The are, indeed, very detailed and informative. I get rid of many confusion in my mind. Thanks a lot!
    However, while reading the grammarian book, Wren & Martin, on the Chapter " Intransitive verbs used as Transitives ", I come to an explanation which reads as follows: A noun used adverbially to modify a verb, an adjective, or an adverb denoting time, place, distance, weight, value, etc.., is called an Adverbial Object or Adverbial Accusative, and is said to be in the Accusative Case adverbially; as
    1. He held the post then years.
    2. He can`t wait a moment longer.
    3. He went home.
    4. He swam a mile.
    5. He weighs seven stone.
    6. The watch cost nine hundred rupees.
    I am very perplexed. On this note, would you mind making a video lesson on this topic. I would be very much grateful to you.
    Thanking you.
    Best Wishes,
    Fazil

      Hey Fazil,
      Thanks for your kind words! I have heard and seen people using transitive verbs intransitively by omitting the object, but intransitive verbs can't have an object and, hence, can't be used transitively, per me.
      Your examples miss prepositions on the right place.
      For example -
      • He held the post for ten years.
      Here, "held" is a transitive verb because it can be acted upon something or somebody. You can hold something or somebody. "Ten years" is no the object of the verb "held". It's a part of the phrase "for ten years" where it's modifying the verb.
      In the example " I went home", home isn't working as an object, it's working as an adverb, telling us the place. "Home" doesn't denote any physical place, it's an abstract noun.
      Hope you got it! I'll do some more research on this and definitely make a video! Thanks for bringing it up! 😊

      My very dear Guru Ashish,
      Thanks for getting back to me. I`m very delighted to your short explanation about my question. However, I have a another question for you. Would you make a difference between a Cognate Object and a Direct Object. I`m very confused. Please and thank you.
      Happy New Year 2020!.
      With best wishes,

    Sir modal auxiliary verbs like should , can , could must are not main verbs so we need main verb after them but why grammarian considered them bare infintive? Because infintives works as noun.

    sir can we not take can as the main verb in the to be written sentence? he can do anything. if we take this in the past tense. it will be he could do anything. as can change its form so it is an irregular main verb while do did not change its form of verb so non-finite.

    Infinitives work as object compliments?

    • @EnglishWithAshish
      @EnglishWithAshish  4 года назад

      Not really. Object complements either rename the objects or describe their states. When infinitives come after objects, they don't do either.
      Yes, they can come after objects, bit they don't function the same way object complements do.
      Hope it helps!

    Hi teacher,You are amazing teacher to almost cover everything,but in my view,when bare infinitive comes after Modal helping verb , had better, and would rather,it should be called verb base form not bare infinitive since zero or bare infinitive cannot be a main verb but non-finite verb. If we are not on the same page on this,please have explanation more on it.Thank you.

      I think what he meat is that when you speak,it is not clear like a native speaker,but I think your pronunciation is fine to understand unless someone who is not good at listening skills or not good at grammars might not understand you 100% since I am good at it,so I can understand you perfectly.I am not a native speaker,but I am also very interested in teaching English too that we used to catch up to see whether we can be a partner to teach English online together because I love the way you make English looks in details to make people know what we called functions of part of speech or phrases.
