Unit 4. Prayer
Attribute function
-
It is a phrase that accompanies the copulative verbs (to be, to be and to appear in Spanish) and that refers at the same time to the subject, with which it agrees in gender and number.
Attribute: the attribute is a noun that is part of the predicate of a sentence in which the verb is to be, to be or to seem. The structure would be is Subject + verb (to be, to be, to appear) + attribute.
It is characterized by:
• Be a segment that can be syntactically related to the subject or direct object since it agrees with them in gender and number.
• Appears only with copulative verbs, also called attributive.

Attributive Adjacent
Subject: Attributive neighbors appear in other circumstances. Along with verbs that are not copulative, there can be an adjacent term of characteristic pairs, that is, it varies in number and gender, according to the number of the verb and the number and gender of the explicit subject.
Of the Object: The difference with respect to the adjacent attributive of the subject consists in that now the presumed attributes do not refer to the lexical subject nor do they agree with it, but with the direct object.
If there is only one noun in this type of sentence, it works as a direct object; if there are two, the one that is updated or identified (with article or other equivalents) will fulfill the role of object and the other the office of attribute.
