If you want to be technical, fine.
You still can't form proper sentences though.
Paris(noun) was just surrendered(verb) to the Salvation army(noun)..
What's the problem Frenchy?:confused:
Paris - Accusative
Salvation Army - Dative.
Reworded:
_____ just surrendered Paris to the Salvation Army.
The fact that there is not a Nominative noun in the sentance may be irritating 9E. The Nominative Noun is /implied/ to be the French, since they are the only ones who would be able to surrender Paris.
Basic sentances are Nominative Noun Takes Action upon Accusative Noun. i.e. The Boy Kicks the Ball. However, it is quite proper to create sentances without a Nominative noun: The Ball was kicked. Who did the kicking? Well is wasn't the ball. The Ball was kicked towards the Goal. This follows TheDudes Noun Verb Noun structure, but it does not have a Nominative Noun and still leaves the reader a little uneasy. Who kicked the ball? Was it the boy? It could have been a girl, a donkey, or even the French.
