Learn English – called the thing that other things are dependent on

Subjects in English generally come before the verb. The verb can have "other things" near it, words like have, can, should, was, etc. The subject can be things other than a noun, such as car, tree, or Bob. They can be words like "skiing" "going" or "eating." The basic sentence pattern in English is Subject + Verb + Object. The object is usually the thing acted upon by the subject. Sentences do not always have direct objects or even subjects. "I am eating right now." does not have an object. "right now." is not something that you can eat.

In "Bob eats a corn dog." "corn dog" is the direct object. In "Bob gave Cindy a corn dog." "corn dog" is still the object. "Cindy" is called an indirect object. She received the object. We know this because we can put "to" after Cindy as in "Bob gave (to) Cindy a corn dog." That's a bit awkward sounding so we reverse the sentence, "Bob gave a corn dog to Cindy."

I go into a bit of extra detail for you because indirect and direct objects are things which confuse learners or native speakers when learning grammar. I sometimes have to stop and "figure things out" in a sentence, so don't feel bad.

In your sentence, "My sister can drive the car today." "My sister" is the complete subject, "my" is a possessive pronoun, "can drive" is the complete verb. "Can" is a modal that tells more info about drive. "Can" is sometimes referred to as an auxiliary or helping verb. "The" is a definite article (telling which car), "car" is the direct object, and "today" is a word that can be either a noun ("Today is the beginning of the rest of my life.") or, as in your example, an adverb telling more about drive. Adverbs can sometimes answer "how?" "when?" and "why?" questions. The word "today" could be confusing...maybe "today" is "the other thing." It is not.

Hope this helps.

The bit that you pull on to open or close a zipper is called a pull or a tab. The term can be used for a metal or plastic part that is permanently attached to the body of the zip, or to a piece of string that is looped through the body of the zip, as in the OP's photo.

There is no one term that covers exclusively string tabs that are connected directly to the zip body, however there are numerous phrases that are used to describe string extensions to or replacements for an existing metal or plastic tab.

This NGram graph shows that in American English, pull is about twice as widely used as tab, and that puller hardly registers at all. This Ngram graph shows that in British English, tab is marginally more common than pull, and puller does not occur at all.

Other NGram graphs show that, when used on its own, zip is somewhat more common than zipper in American English and significantly more common in British English. When used in a collocation with tab or pull, however, zipper is very much more more widely used than zip in both AmE and BrE.
