In linguistics, "S NP VP" represents a basic sentence structure in generative grammar, where "S" stands for a sentence, "NP" for noun phrase, and "VP" for verb phrase. This structure indicates that a complete sentence consists of a noun phrase (subject) followed by a verb phrase (predicate). For example, in the sentence "The cat (NP) sleeps (VP)," "The cat" is the subject, and "sleeps" is the verb. This framework helps analyze and understand the syntactic organization of sentences in various languages.
no because was is not a linking verb
A predicate is a grammatical term that refers to the part of a sentence or clause that expresses what is said about the subject. It typically includes the verb and any objects or modifiers, providing information about the action or state of being. For example, in the sentence "The cat sleeps on the mat," "sleeps on the mat" is the predicate, describing what the subject (the cat) is doing.
Intransitive verbs do not have an object. The doctors are studying pain and other intransitive bodily sensations. (Here the word, like the verbs, means not related directly to a objective sensation --warmth, pressure -- but completely subjective, because it can be localized but not objectivized.)
Was discovered reflects passive voice. The verb shows no action.The verb does show action but the sentence doesn't tell us who did the action, compare with this active sentence:Charlie Brown discovered the north west passage to India.Or if you want, in a passive sentence you can put the agent (doer of the verb ) at the end of the sentence:The north west passage to India was discovered by Charlie Brown .(Sorry my history knowledge is not good)
An intransitive verb does not require a direct object to complete its meaning, while a transitive verb does require a direct object to make sense. For example, "She sleeps" (intransitive) vs. "She eats an apple" (transitive).
