Sentence Analysis, Clause and Phrase
Hello, i am struggling to analyse the following sentences:
1>"Mawson was part of the team that set out to find the south magnetic pole."
2>"As they traveled, the men took turns to go ahead to break the trail"
3>"back at the hut, Mawson learned that he would be staying in Antartica until the end of the year."
I need to know what sort of sentences they are, i.e. noun phrases, verb phrases, whether they have predicates, post/pre modifiers, etc.... if someone could please help me understand this it would be very much appreciated
thanks Australia
