grammatical relations

Grammatical relations refer to the connections between words in a sentence that indicate their roles and how they interact. This includes identifying subjects (the doers of the action), predicates (the actions or states), and objects (the receivers of the action). For example, in "The cat (subject) chased (predicate) the mouse (object)," the relations clarify who is doing what. Understanding these relationships helps in grasping the meaning of sentences and how different parts contribute to overall communication. Grammatical relations are essential for constructing coherent and meaningful expressions in language.
