Grammar
Clauses Help Please
Hi
Can you please tell me if I am right in the classification of the follow sentences:
"I do not think, comrades, that I shall be with you for very much longer, and before I die, I feel it my duty to pass on to you such wisdom as I have acquired."
I do not think, comrades = matrix, finite clause
than I shall be with you for very much longer = subordinate, finite, complement clause of "i do not thin"
before I die =finite, subordinate clause, adverbial clause
I feel it my duty = finite matrix clause
to pass on to you such wisdom = non finite, subordinate, complement clause of "i feel it my duty"
as I have acquired = finite, subordinate, relative clause
Thank you
