plain_o and_o short_a rule_n for_o point_v period_n and_o read_v sentence_n grammatical_o with_o the_o great_a use_n of_o they_o by_o m._n lewis_n of_o tottenham_n the_o foundation_n of_o the_o syntactical_a part_n of_o grammar_n consist_v in_o these_o two_o thing_n to_o divide_v a_o period_n into_o sentence_n and_o to_o read_v those_o sentence_n grammatical_o the_o master_n build_v upon_o

necessary_a thing_n rule_n for_o point_v a_o period_n every_o subject_n call_v the_o nominative_a case_n and_o finite_a verb_n express_v or_o understand_v with_o their_o dependent_n must_v have_v a_o
