Hi Cindy I'll have a go at answering your question, then we'll see if anyone knows better. 1. It's a complex sentence: It has an adverbial clause followed by a main clause.

Hi Cindy

I'll have a go at answering your question, then we'll see if anyone knows better.



1. It's a complex sentence: It has an adverbial clause followed by a main clause.

2. The Indirect object: The "pair of wings" is the direct object.

3. Compound: Two main clauses joined by a co-ordinating conjunction (and).



That's my call.
