The longer-term impact...
"The longer-term impact of Brexit on jobs in financial services was much less certain, and depends on what deal Britain struck was able to reach with the EU, Woods said." (Reuters.)
Is "Woods" a subject and "said" the predicator (main verb) in the sentence above?
Is "The longer-term impact of Brexit on jobs in financial services was much less certain, and depends on what deal Britain struck was able to reach with the EU" a part of the predicate in the cited sentence?
Do both verbs "was" and "depends on" have the same subject in that sentence?
Is the clause "what deal Britain struck was able to reach with the EU" the complement (object) of the proposition "on" and indirect question in the prepositional phrase?
