Parse this simple sentence for me please?
"My name is John".
Could somebody parse this for me? I presume the pronoun is the Subject, 'name' is the object, and 'is' is the verb. But I don't even know if that's correct.
All help is appreciated.
Thanks.

"My name" is the subject and "is John" the predicate of that sentence. The predicate can be further parsed to a a copular/linking verb (is) and a subject complement (John).
