Grammar
Type of sentence and it's parts.
What type of sentence is it? What members of sentence are here?
It was no strain on the voice, and I guessed that Margaret knew what she was doing when she chose it.
My observations:
It's a compound sentence.There are 5 clauses:1)It was no strain on the voice, 2) I guessed 3)that Margaret knew, 4) what she was doing, 5)when she chose it.
1) It - formal subject.
Was no strain - the compound nominal predicate
On her voice - the prepositional object.
2) I - simple subject
guessed - simple predicate.
3) that Margaret knew - is it some kind of object clause?
Margaret -simple subject.
Knew - simple predicate
That - ?
4)what she was doing - object clause? What does it consist of?
She -subj
Was doing - simlpe verbal predicate(past continious)
What - ?
5)when she chose it - adverbial clause of time.
She - subj,
Chose - predicate,
It- object,
when - ?
As you can see,my grammar is preaty bad,so,please,help me.

Could you help me to make a scheme of this sentence?
It was no strain on the voice ---- and ---- I guessed - are independent
I guessed
that Miss Glaser knew
what she was doing
It was no strain on the voice ---- and ---- I guessed - are independent
I guessed
that Miss Glaser knew
what she was doing

Daisy BlackSo each clause is dependent on the previous one.Compound-complex.
It was no strain on the voice, and I guessed that Margaret knew what she was doing when she chose it.
It was no strain on the voice. (main clause)
I guessed... (2nd main clause)
There are three dependent clauses.
Complement of "guess

Daisy BlackSo each clause is dependentNot exactly. The when-clause is dependent on the whole clause "Miss Glaser knew what she was doing", not just on the previous clause "what she was doing". "what she was doing" is like an objfromon the previous one. Or not?

1) So "what she was doing" and "when she chose it" are both dependant from "she knew"?
2) May I call clauses "that Margaret knew" and "what she was doing" - object clauses?
2) May I call clauses "that Margaret knew" and "what she was doing" - object clauses?
