I need help dissecting this sentence to demonstrate grammatical concepts
Hi, this is a long sentence I'd like to see if I have the grammatical parts separated accurately, please give me some feedback:
Here is the sentence:
""Barbara Russel, a manufacturing vice president, walked into the monthly companywide meeting, with a light step and a hopefulness she hadn't felt in a long time."
Ok, so I have...
-Barbara Russel as the Subject
-"a manufacturing vice president" a relative clause
-"walked into" as Verb
-"the monthly companywide meeting" as Object and "noun phrase" because it is a replacement for the simple noun "meeting"
-"with a light step and..." Prepositional Phrase
-"hopefulness she hadn't felt in a long time" also part of the Prepositional Phrase but this part also a "noun phrase" because it replaces the simple noun "hope"
Please let me know how accurate this is, I think it can go more than one way at times.
Regards,
Steven
