+**This wiki, however, will use a more precise method that takes into account the differences between different sentences. Instead of subject/object, the terms Agent and Patient will be used. An Agent is the participant doing the action, while the Patient is the participant the action is done to. In sentences with only one participant, the participant will remain a Subject. English is best described as AVP/SV in this system. The following six combinations are the most natural, but exceptions can exist.
 *'''{{ID|Semantics}}''' is about the meaning of words.
 **'''{{ID|Semantic Fields}}''' are groupings of words based on their shared meanings, such as ''dig'' being related to ''mine'' and ''shovel'', but also being related to ''understand'' in some types of slang. (Can you dig it?)
