+85. The Framework of a Sentence+ has been already described as consisting
of the _subject_, the _verb_, and, if the verb be incomplete, of some
completing element, _object_ or _attribute complement_. Occasionally an
_objective complement_ must be added. Besides these elementary parts, both
subject and predicate may have modifiers.
The usual modifiers of the subject are:--
1. Adjective: [The _golden_ bowl is broken].
2. Adjective phrase: [The house _on the hill_ is beautiful].
3. Adjective clause: [The house _which stands on the hill_ is beautiful].
4. Noun or pronoun in possessive case: [_Helen's_ paint box is lost].
5. Noun in apposition: [Mr. Merrill, the _president_ of the club, will
open the debate].
