We previously defined the terms : head, complement and adjunct.

We also stated that dependents are 2 types:
complements= give essential information , cannot be deleted

adjuncts= give extra information and can be deleted


We also classified verbs into transitive, intransitive and ditransitive. We'll see what type of dependent each type of verb requires

1- sing

The verb sing can be both transitive and intransitive depending on the context
