ABSTRACT
17.01. Predicatives naturally fall into two groups, predicatives of being and predicatives of becoming. The distinction is analogous to that between an ordinary object and an object of result (above 12.1 and 2), and when we come to deal with nexus-objects, we shall see a corresponding division. Some verbs may be used in two meanings with both kinds of predicatives, e. g. go; this is especially important with regard to the combination of be and a passive participle (18.3). We shall take the predicatives of being first.
