When translated into English, each of these sentences has a different meaning. \nIn the first sentence, “hate” is the main verb, representing what the speaker is afraid of. The sentence does not have a clear subject or verb. In the second sentence, “telling” is the main verb, but it is being used to give information rather than serve as the subject. In the third sentence, “should” is a conjunction used to provide advice, but it does not serve as the subject. In the fourth sentence, “capital” is the main verb, representing where the city is located. Each sentence has multiple meanings and is difficult to translate word-for-word into English.
