Add more info about passive ====== Object of sentence ====== **//Object//** is one of dependent parts of sentence, but often is required for certain [[grammar_verb|verbs]] of predicate. Object is always an //argument// of [[syntax_predicate|predicate]]. While object is usually treated as receiver of action (//patient//) made by [[syntax_subject|subject]] (//agent//), the roles of object and subject may be swapped in passive constructions. There may be more than zero or one objects in the sentence. Then one of them is called //direct// and other are //indirect//. Example: Uruk thrakuzû nazgum durubûr (takob) = Orcs brought the ring for/to (their) ruler. Where "nazgum" (the ring) is the direct object and "durubûr" (to ruler) is the indirect object. Please note, that pronominal phrase "takob" is a modifier here, not an object. If object is a [[pronouns|pronoun]] in [[case_accusative|accusative case]] (specially 3rd person pronoun) it may become [[clitics|enclitic]] adjusted to the verb: "I will kill them!" => "Dadogubul!". Object may include optional [[syntax_determiner|modifier]] (usually an adjective): "I have a beautiful ring" => "Dabrus ash nazgnîr". [[grammar_noun|Noun]] related to verb is not always an object (or subject). Only nouns in //grammatical// [[grammar_case|cases]] (Accusative/Objective, Genitive, Dative) are objects. Noun in locative or marginal case is usually an [[syntax_adverbials|adverbial]]. Genitive case with possessive function forms an [[syntax_determiner|adjectival phrase]] from noun or pronoun.
