A, highly, caffeine induced and sleep deprived summary.

This 2/5 of the book describes basically the mechanics of sentence structure and I will do my best to try to summarize the key concepts discussed. First, there are two kinds of phrases, a noun phrase and a verb phrase. A noun phrase consists of an optional, "determinator", otherwise known as an article, like "the" or "a", any number of adjectives and then a noun. An example of a noun phrase would be, "The sad boy". A verb phrase is a verb followed by the noun phrase, like "Eats sour candy". What makes these phrases turn into sentences is when a noun phrase is followed by a verb phrase, like "The sad boy eats sour candy." A sentence can consist of the word either, followed by a sentence, followed by the word or, followed by another sentence. Also, a sentence can consist of the word if, followed by a sentence, followed by the word then, followed by another sentence. A noun is not what you have previously believed, it is not just the name of any thing, it can also be an action, a path, a quality, a measurement in space, a measurement in time, a category, an event, an abstract concept or even have no meaning at all. This goes the same for verbs, verbs can be more than just words for things being done, but they can also be mental states, like know or like, possession, like own or have, and abstract relations among ideas, like falsify or prove. To get more in depth, the noun phrase is very intricate. The noun in a noun phrase is considered the "head", where everything else in that sentence, is filed with that word in memory pertaining to that word, like "the fish in the ditch". This same principle can be applied to the verb phrase, like "crying before the monster kills him". Another principle, known as "role-players" or arguments, that allow the phrases to refer not just to one thing or action, but to sets of players that interact with each other, each with their own role, like "Bethany(the giver) gave the police man(the receiver) a cookie(the gift), so he would not tell her parole officer she broke her parole." The third is the ingredient to a phrase is one or more modifiers, usually called "adjuncts", these modifiers are like as ons to the role-players, a little extra information about it, like Bethany, ave the police man a cookie, so he would not tell her parole officer she broke her parole, at the precinct".
