This post is a part of a Verbal Post Collection
I'd like to open this topic for us to chip in grammar points which we think are notable and can benefit other members. It is easy to google grammar sites but still is sharing on forum the best way to spread our knowledge and to gain from others'
Active verbs with a passive meaning:
Example:
Normal form: A large painting by Jasper Johns was sold for US$ 2 mil.
--> We can also say: A large paitning by Jasper Johns sold for US$ 2 mil.
Verbs of this kind: clean, sell, show, wash, let and etc..
What we can use before "more"?
+ For uncountable nouns: some more, any more, hardly any more, a little more, a lot more, much more, no more + Noun
+ For countable nouns: some more, any more, a few more, hardly any more, a lot more, many more, no more + Noun.
Word order: subject+ verb+ object+ complement: " call him a fool"
Verbs of this kind: appoint, baptize, call, consider, crown, declare, elect, label, make, name and vote.
For example: They labelled him a charlatan.
NOTE: never use "as" after the object.

Great idea Laxie!
Here is one more. Absolute constructions --> Don't confuse them with Dangling modifiers
Absolute constructions consist of a noun and some kind of modifier, the most common being a participle. Because they often come at the beginning of a sentence, they are easily confused with dangling participles. But an absolute construction modifies the rest of the sentence, not the subject of the sentence (as a participial phrase does). You can use absolute constructions to compress two sentences into one and to vary sentence structure as a means of holding a reader’s interest. Here are some examples:
No other business arising, the meeting was adjourned.
The paint now dry, we brought the furniture out on the deck.
The truck finally loaded, they said goodbye to their neighbors and drove off.
The horse loped across the yard, her foal trailing behind her.
Constructions like these are used more often in writing than in speaking, where it is more common to use a full clause: When the paint was dry, we brought the furniture out on the deck. There are, however, many fixed absolute constructions that occur frequently in speech:
The picnic is scheduled for Saturday, weather permitting.
Barring bad weather, we plan to go to the beach tomorrow.
All things considered, it’s not a bad idea.
