RULE XVII--FINITE VERBS

When a Verb has two or ree with theether

The Infinitive Mood is governed in general by the preposition TO, which commonly connects it to a finite verb

RULE XIX--INFINITIVES

The active verbs, _bid, dare, feel, hear, let, make, need, see_, and their participles, usually take the Infinitive after them without the preposition TO

RULE XX--PARTICIPLES

RULE XXII--CONJUNCTIONS

Conjunctions connect words, sentences, or parts of sentences

RULE XXIII--PREPOSITIONS

Prepositions show the relations of words, and of the things or thoughts expressed by them

RULE XXIV--INTERJECTIONS

GENERAL OR CRITICAL OBSERVATIONS ON SYNTAX

OBS 1--An explanation of the relation, agreeerara this branch of their subject as consisting of two parts only, ”_concord_ and _governement_ of words, except as these are involved in the others The four things are essentially different in their nature, as iven above, yet not so distinct in practice that they can well be made the basis of any perfect division of the rules of syntax I have therefore, on this occasion, preferred the order of the parts of speech; each of which will form a chapter in the Syntax of this work, as each forree _Relation_ and _agreeether

The latter is moreover naturally allied to the former Seven of the ten parts of speech are, with a few exceptions, incapable of any agreement; of these the _relation_ and _use_ reement_ between any of the rest, is confined to words that _relate_ to each other For one word ree_ with it; but there is never any _necessary agreement_ betords that have not a _relation_ one to the other, or a connexion according to the sense Any si between unconnected words, is no syntactical concord, though it ically

OBS 3--From these observations it may be seen, that the lish syntax, is the si to the sense To this head alone, ought to be referred all the rules of construction by which our articles, our nominatives, our adjectives, our participles, our adverbs, our conjunctions, our prepositions, and our interjections, are to be parsed To the ordinary syntactical use of any of these, no rules of concord, government, or position, can at all apply Yet so defective and erroneous are the scherammars, that _no rules_ of simple relation, none by which any of the above-naeneral to be found in them If there are any exceptions to this censure, they are very few, and in treatises still ard to the syntax of some of these parts of speech
