A comprehensive guide to French grammatical functions related to verbs, covering Comment identifier le sujet dans une phrase française, Différence entre COD et COI en grammaire française, and various complement types.
- The subject (sujet) performs or undergoes the action and is identified by asking "who/what" does the action
- Attribute of the subject (attribut du sujet) follows state verbs and defines the subject
- Direct object complement (COD) is identified by asking "who/what" after the subject and verb
- Indirect object complement (COI) is identified by asking "to whom/to what" after the subject and verb
- Agent complement (complément d'agent) appears when the subject undergoes the action in passive voice
