Is the italic all right? I think it is but I don't know what it is for in the sentence. I mean it's either the subject or verb.

Italics are not commonly used. Some style guides show italics for titles (books, plays, art works, etc.)

Yes, I know the subject and verb. I mean what the text in italics is for? Adverbial modifier?
Is the whole sentence all right? I want it to be grammatically correct and sound more native.

Adam MaoYes, I know the subject and verb.
What? You wrote, speaking of the portion in italics, "I don't know what it is for in the sentence. I mean it's either the subject or verb". That means you thought the portion in italics was either the subject or the verb, and it is neither. Now you're saying that you know the subject and verb. I must say, it's hard

I thought you were asking about the use of italic font.

Here is the way to ask the question:
Are the words in italic font grammatically correct?
Is the sentence grammatical?
What is the function of the italicized words in the sentence?

If you are studying English grammar using traditional textbooks, then the compound participial phrase which opens the sentence modifies the subject of the sentence, the pronoun "we."

In more modern systems of grammar, grammarians use different methods of analysis, and different vocabulary.
