Clauses in this sentence

Hi, I have to know the answer to this question before I go on holiday, or it will drive me nuts!


Ross' musical talents are not as amazing as he and Sam think.



Could you analyse this sentence (sho me what clauses exist and what they include) for me please.

(I know the are two clauses (main and subodinate), but I struggle to identify them. It seems as though the complement of the main clause is the other clause. Could you please tell me the parts of the sentence; that is, the clauses and phrases in the sentence).

Thanks in advance.

Remember the last one? This one is not as hard. One is hard. (Predicate adjective) "As" is an adverb modifying "hard." "Not" is an adverb, probably modifying "is," but possibly modifying "as." CJ has gone home.

This one is not as hard as you think. "This" is an adjective. I suppose the second "as" is a conjunction. "You think" is a clause. Now what?

Haha, it looks as though you are as confused as me. Fortunately, I received an asnwer to this from CJ on another post. The answer comes from a subordinate clause I was not aware of;: a comparitive clause.

I am glad to see that you see the complement to the main clause as another clause. That is how I first saw it!

It seems like there is no usage for which someone has not invented a name. "If you build it, they will come."

I guess in all disciplines, there are creative people and people who explain what has already been done. There are those who make history and those who describe it. Shakespeare seems to have broken a lot of rules.

What's the matter, Eddie? Did you lose your way back to the other thread where I answered this? Or just looking for a second opinion?

I sent this message before I got your reply cofirming I understood it.

Your answer is great; I wasn't seeking another answer. I just thought I would re-post incase you didn't feel like answering it as I ask you a load of questions.

But I understand your explanation, which is great.

I am now aware of these
