Did I succeed in writing this speech analysis?
Hello! I'm writing a class test tomorrow on speech analysis. I wanted to ask if I did well with my analysis and what I could improve. Greetings
Is there a comma before "or"?
I couldn't find an answer on Google. Please explain your answer.
the or the?
He dropped down in front of the house entrance or in front of that?
Help with wording "to turn" or "to burst with" (see sentence)?
Dear people, I have a request: Can you please help me with a more precise and speaker-equivalent formulation? It's about the following situation: A young, slightly stoned man is wandering through the streets when he suddenly finds himself in an amusement park. He says the following sentence: I have lost myself in places that indulge…
This is a matter of definition, and you can argue for a long time. There are, for example, people who speak of direct objects (=Accusative) and indirect objects (=Dativ). But it’s not that simple. This only applies to verbs such as “jdm. give/supplied/write/cooking/buy etc.”, i.e. in verbs, in which dativ and rechargeable, so to speak, perform a logical function:
But what about verbs like “jdn. ask” and “jdm. answer”? Can you talk about direct or indirect objects? I think no. It is one and the same situation, but one verb stands with the battery and the other is funny with the Dativ.
as well:
So it no longer works here with names like “direct” or “indirect object”.
The “Building with prepositions” talk some people Preparatory action Tripod object or Preposition + battery object. Other people, however, say that one cannot speak of objects if they are dependent on prepositions; one can only Preposition + Dativ or Preparatory action Accurate speak.
The latter seems to be the case with the creators of your exercise.

So:
Verb + Dative object
Verb + Preposition + Dativ
Watson is the narrator. (Watson = subject, i.e. nominative)
Is there: they depend on a preposition (which is directly in front).
(I assume that instead of “Watson” the word “Holmes” should be marked in the line below.)
Yes, thank you
“with Holmes”: Very smart. I didn’t think that meant that. Just wondered that “Watson” was a subject.
(1) Where did he live?
The tripod is here only because the preposition “at” always requires Dativ.
2) Watson = subject of the second sentence
How do you get a tripod object here?
3) With whom? > with Mary Elizabeth Watson
with always asks the Dativ
> be married to someone
You could talk about a prepositional object here.
