Through the text "The grammar and its divisions”, you, dear user, had the opportunity to know a little more about the subjects discussed by normative grammar. It was also ensured that one of them, here in particular represented by the syntax, deals with the study of the relationships that are established between the terms of a given sentence, which is inserted in a given communicative context.
So, when it comes to syntactic studies, we have the syntax analisys, which is responsible for the study of the functions performed by the terms that make up a particular clause.
The agreement syntax is responsible for the study of the agreement relationships established between the constituent terms. For that, we have the nominal agreement and the verbal agreement. Here are some examples of both:
Bought shoes and dressesyellow.
The studentsThey arrived.
Continuing, we find the syntax of regency, which is concerned with studying the relations of dependence that are established between the constituent terms of a given clause. Thus, we have the nominal rulership and the verbal rulership. Examples? Check out:

Do not stop now... There's more after the advertising ;)
Finally, we have the placement syntax, responsible for analyzing the arrangement of elements within a clause. Watch:
Students are exhausted.
We found that each element occupies a specific place, assuming a specific function.
