Parsing
Hi.
“They had a few players who had cramp. We showed what a good physical condition we are in and thankfully got the job done.” [From The Guardian.]
Is my parsing correct?
They had a few players who had cramp.
They - a subject;
had - a verb;
a few players - an object;
who had cramp - an object complement >>>> (/S: who/V: had/O: cramp/)
We showed what a good physical condition we are in and thankfully got the job done.
We - a subject;
showed - a verb;
what a good physical condition we are in - an object >>>> (/S: we/V: are/C: in what a good physical condition);
and - a connector;
thankfully - an adverbial;
[we] - an implied subject;
got - the verb;
the job - an object;
done - an object complement.
Note: the "/C: in what a good physical condition" is an adverbial complement.
Thank you.
