As a Conlanger and language enthusiast, I love this channel and find it extremely helpful in understanding linguistics or language as a whole. I found this video helpful in my understanding of syntactic categories or word class. Sometimes I get confused with word classes and how I should label them in my conlangs.
Hi, dear I want to enquire about something. The sentence: He kept smiling. In which category we can place the word "smiling" I mean (subject/predicator/object/complement) Since the verb keep in this situation is an intransitive verb. Another examples: I like solving problems. I like to solve problems. Here "solving problems/to solve problems" act like objects. So what's the difference between these sentences. I need more details about this. Thanks in advance
