[quote=@Dedonus] A factitive sentence is like a linking sentence, but without a form of "sum". It is basically stating a [b]fact[/b] (as the name hints at). For example, "I will paint the house purple" is a factitive sentence, as it establishes that the house = purple, but there is an active action in it (I will paint), as compared to a linking sentence, like "The house is purple". In the first sentence, both "house" and "purple" would be in the accusative, while "The house is purple" has two nominative nouns. "We will teach [something] to someone" is not a factitive because "something" does not equal "someone". Does that make more sense, or am I just spewing out more jargon?
