Top Highlights
“The first principle to be remembered is that no word should ever be parsed without careful reference to the function which it performs in the sentence where it occurs.” (Page 2)
“N.B. Only Transitive verbs can have a Passive voice.” (Page 7)
“(j) Verbal Nouns, Infinitive, Gerund. The so-called Infinitive Mood to go, to see, to hear is really a verbal noun.” (Page 13)
“The use of the Aorist Subjunctive in the sense of a command not to begin the action.” (Page 86)
“In estimating the meaning of a Prepositional phrase (i.e. a Preposition followed by a noun) the proper course to adopt is first to consider the force of the case of the noun and then to add to this the root meaning of the Preposition. The combination of the two ideas will generally explain the meaning of the phrase.” (Page 29)
