Lesson 8 | Prophecy & Directive Discourse
Review
Keep pushing on! Only three more assignments to go. But first, take a moment to review what you’ve learned in this lesson about making a text hierarchy with prophetic or directive discourse.
What we learned this lesson
Here’s what we learned this lesson:
- The mainline verb in prophetic discourse is the sequential-perfect.
- The mainline verbs in directive discourse are commands, or a command + sequential-perfect.
- Mainline verbs in both types of discourse don’t necessarily take place in temporal order.
- The guidelines for finding, indenting, and labelling offline clauses remain the same as in narrative.
- A vav + imperfect often shows purpose.
