The Definition of Is &: Are
Explanation:
Within : C.-S.-S.-C.-P.-S.-G :, the word “Is” occupies the structural position that links a subject with the statement that follows.
The word does not represent an action. Instead, it functions as a structural connector that establishes a relationship between two parts of a sentence.
The subject introduces the factual reference.
The word “Is” connects that reference to the expression that defines or explains it.
When this structure is maintained, the sentence preserves clarity and logical order.
Structural Example:
For The Sentence
Of The Communication
Is With The Structure
Of An Explanation
With The Clarity
By The Position-Word-Claim “Is”.
This example shows how the word “Is” maintains the connection between the subject and the expression.
Role Within CSSCPSG Sentence Structure:
In the framework, “Is” occupies the linking position within a sentence.
That position ensures that:
• the subject is clearly identified
• the statement relates directly to the subject
• the structure of the sentence remains balanced
When the position of “Is” is misused or removed, the relationship between the subject and the statement becomes unclear.
Understanding this position is therefore one of the first steps in learning structured syntax.

The Definition Of “Are”.
Explanation:
Within : C.-S.-S.-C.-P.-S.-G :, the word “Are” performs the same structural role as the word “Is”, but it operates when the subject of the sentence represents more than one element.
The subject introduces the factual reference.
The word “Are” links that reference to the expression that follows.
The purpose of this linking position is to maintain a clear structural relationship between the subject and the statement describing it.
Where the subject represents multiple elements, the linking position is expressed through the word “Are”.
Structural Example:
For The Sentences
Of The Communication
Are With The Structures
Of The Explanations
With The Clarity
By The Position Of “Are”.
This example shows how “Are” links plural subjects with the statements that describe them.
Role Within CSSCPSG Sentence Structure:
Within the framework, “Are” occupies the plural linking position in sentence construction.
This ensures that:
• plural subjects are properly connected to their statements
• the structure of the sentence remains balanced
• meaning is communicated clearly
Understanding this structural position helps maintain consistency when analysing or reconstructing sentences within the CSSCPSG framework.
Relationship Between “Is” and “Are”
The words “Is” and “Are” both function as linking positions within sentence structure.
The difference between them lies in the number of elements represented by the subject.
“Is” connects a single subject to a statement.
“Are” connects plural subjects to their statements.
This distinction maintains structural clarity in communication.
