 **//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.  **//Object//** is one of dependent parts of sentence, but often is required for certain [[grammar_verb|verbs]] of predicate.
