Apodosis: This term refers to the clause that expresses the consequence or result of a condition stated in the protasis. For example, in the conditional sentence "If it rains, the ground gets wet," "the ground gets wet" is the apodosis.
Protasis: This term refers to the clause that expresses the condition or hypothetical situation in a conditional sentence. Continuing from the previous example, "If it rains" is the protasis.
Collocation: This term refers to a pair or group of words that are habitually juxtaposed or frequently occur together due to convention or usage. For instance, "strong tea," "make an effort," and "heavy rain" are examples of collocations.
Copular verb: This term refers to a verb that connects the subject of a sentence to a subject complement (noun or adjective) describing or identifying it. Common copular verbs include "be," "seem," "appear," "become," etc. For example, in the sentence "He is a doctor," "is" is the copular verb linking "He" (the subject) with "a doctor" (the complement).
