This document discusses clause structure and the SVOA model. It defines a clause as having both a subject and predicate, and can be independent or dependent. The SVOA structure is explained as having a Subject, Verb, Object, and Adjunct. The Adjunct provides additional information about manner, time, location, or other details. Examples are given showing how the Adjunct adds extra context about how, when, or where the action occurred.
