subject or direct object?
Good day helpful Gurus, can you tell me if this is correct?
Last year her project was successful.
adverbial subject or *d.o.? +v.p. subject complement
Unfortunately, the government's policy is very changeable these days.

Last year her project was successful. So now that this question answers subject it is subject attribute. You cant make this sentence passive right?

- /subject attribute(because if you ask what is very changable these days, subject answers you) Verb phrase is a category but the things I wrote to you are all functions.

Yes yes you are right but don't use verb phrase for was.It is a verb phrase but your grammar teacher may want you to group them as categories and functions.So, as a function was is predicator, as a category it is verb phrase.
