Grammar
The difference between "subject(ive) vs. object(ive)"
StartFragment>
In the below sentences, it seems that a writer uses "subject" and "object" almost in the same sense.
Can you teach me how I can distinguish these two words?
One of the main principles I follow when I draw outside is not to select a subject that is too difficult or odd. I try to stay away from houses or barns that have unusual angles of the roof, or objects that look incorrect in size, perspective, or design. If the subject is confusing when you look at it, it will be more confusing when you attempt to draw it.
Below is Another paragraph, in a book "The Pleasures of Philosophy," written by Will Durant.
Can you teach me how I can distinguish these two words?
For time is the child of motion; if there were no movement there would be no change; and if there were no change there would be no time. Time as a sense of before and after, a feeling of the flow, is subjective, and only minds could give it to the world; time as change is objective.
