Synt ax - a Subset of Grammar
For most of human history, syntax existed as a subset of grammar.
Many thinkers believed that language was a reflection of thought.
For the most part, English syntax follows the rule of subject, verb,
and object. However, word order can be reversed in certain
situations, such as poetry, in order to achieve a certain artistic
statement. Syntax in prose can be manipulated to either speed up
or slow down a particular passage.
Incorrect - While watching a movie, people who text on their
phone are very annoying.
Correct - People who text on their phone while watching a
movie are very annoying.
The phrase "while watching a movie" modifies the noun
phrase "People who text on their phone" by explaining when
they text. The modifier should follow the noun phrase of the
sentence.
Incorrect - Happy about her upcoming promotion, the trip
home was full of singing.
Correct - Happy about her upcoming promotion, Sammie
