I go to the school.

[Mother1]

I go to the school.
What is the name of the parts?

1. Is its compliment/object/adverb equivalent/adjective equivalent?
If not then what?[/u]

[James M]

(1) I think that "to the school" is called a prepositional phrase.

(2) It tells where you are going, so it modifies the verb "go."

(3) Since it modifies a verb, we would say that it is an adverbial complement. (complement = to complete the meaning)

(4) I = pronoun; go = verb; to = preposition; the = adjective (newer books say "determiner"); school (noun).

[Mother1]

another question is

What is the passive form of the following sentence?
"May you live long."

[Mother1]

What is the passive form of the following sentence?
"May you live long."

[Mother1]

What is the passive form of the following sentence?
"May you live long."

[James M]

(1) No language professional has answered your interesting question yet, so may I start?

(2) I think that the simple answer is: you cannot change such a sentence to the passive. Please remember that not all sentences can be changed to the passive.

(3) I have checked Michael Swan's very popular Practical English Usage, and I would like to offer these comments:

(a) I can say "I hope that you may live long."

(b) I can change that to "May you live long."

(c) And if you absolutely need a passive sentence, you could

say "It is hoped (by me) that you may live long."

[Dozy]

I guess we could also say that "May you live long" means "May you live a long life", whose passive would be "May a long life be lived by you". This would normally not be natural, but might conceivably be used for some special stylistic effect.

Thanks Dozy and James M. Very Very thanks you two.

Actually I read English grammar regularly. But I didn't get any description or any comment for Optative and exclamatory sentences about voice change. And I was confused that Is it possible or not to change an Optative Or exclamatory sentence into passive. But after posting it to the english-test.net I got a solution from you two. I think this solution will be so helpful for me.

I have got solution for one kind sentences what about the others---
Examples----
1. How interesting a poem it is!/How interesting the poem is!
2. had I a wings!/Were I a king!

[Ratnayake 57]

Please tell me whether the following sentence is correct.
"Just go straight ahead."

Thank you, Mother l, for your kind note. I, too, am interested in your new question, and I shall be waiting to see what the language professionals say. I also am waiting for a language professional to answer Ratnayake's question.

[Mother1]

Now
I don't want to know the passive form of the examples that I wrote above.
I just want to know Legally is it possible or not to convert a exclamatory sentence into passive form.
