What is an example of syntax?

Question

I am doing a project that asks for an example of syntax. Not an example of the word used in a sentence, but "an example that can be found in movies, musical lyrics, poetry, and prose." i wasnt quite sure what it was asking me for.

Answer 1

what kind of example you need?

If sentence -

Syntax is an important part of style and meaning in language.

Answer 2

Syntax is the order in which you place words, to make a sentence either sound good or convey a certain meaning. "To your house we are going" would be an example of awkward syntax. You understand it, but it sounds odd. People who are learning a language might have problems with syntax.

If you mess with syntax, you can change the meaning:

The young man carries the lady.

The lady carries the young man.

Syntax matters!

Answer 3

come again?

Answer 4

Syntax is mainly the grammar or sentence structure used in whatever it is you're doing a project on. In poetry, words can be shifted to emphasize connections and so on.

Maybe a pattern in a certain sentence or sentences... Hope this helps!
