ntax.= Construction; the grammatical relation between the
words, phrases, and clauses in a sentence.

=Verbal.= Any form of the verb used as another part of speech.
Infinitives, gerunds, and participles are verbals. They are
used to express action without asserting it, and cannot,
therefore, have subjects or be used as predicate verbs.
