==In sentence structure== Objects are distinguished from subjects in the syntactic trees that represent sentence structure. The subject appears (as high or) higher in the syntactic structure than the object. The following trees of a [[dependency grammar]] illustrate the hierarchical positions of subjects and objects:<ref>Dependency trees similar to the ones produced here can be found in Γgel et al. (2003/6).</ref> ::[[File:Grammatical_objects.svg|Grammatical objects]] The subject is in blue, and the object in orange. The subject is consistently a dependent of the [[finite verb]], whereas the object is a dependent of the lowest [[non-finite verb]] if such a verb is present.
