sandellie4 Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 We're trying to identify the parts of this sentence, and I'm absolutely clueless! I can't even figure out what the subject is..."best design" "this"? :lol: Is this the best design for the bedroom? Sandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grace is Sufficient Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 We're trying to identify the parts of this sentence, and I'm absolutely clueless! I can't even figure out what the subject is..."best design" "this"? :lol: Is this the best design for the bedroom? Sandy Hi, Sandy. To analyze a question, you sort of ignore the fact that it's a question and turn it back to a sentence, as in: This is the best design for the bedroom. So, This: subject is: verb the best: adjectives design: predicate nominative for the bedroom: prepositional phrase I've not done much grammar with these guys for a few years, so it's possible I've screwed something up. If so, I'm sure the correct information will turn up. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollyDay Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 This is the best design for the bedroom This - subject is - linking verb the - article best - adj design - predicate adjective for - preposition the - article bedroom - object of preposition Now, my gf adds that (for the bedroom) is a prepositional phrase used as an adjective modifying design. I cannot confirm nor deny that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekarl2 Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Design is a noun. It's a predicate nominative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
