Hi All-
The exercise in this section was to identify the subjects and verbs in each sentence. Below are the answers per the SC book. I do not understand why the subject and verb in each introductory clause are not identified in the answers. It seems as though “we” and “did” should also be a subject/verb and ‘She” and “knows” should also be a subject and verb. If someone can clarify this for me that would be very helpful. Thanks
#8 p. 55
After all the gardening we did, the sun shining on the flower bed makes a beautiful sight.
#20 p. 55
She knows that despite the element of luck, the judgment and the wisdom displayed by each contestant evidently affect the outcome.
It is further confusing because in #19 they identify “progress” and “is” as a subject/verb in the introductory clause. So it seems inconsistent to not do the same for #8 and #20.
#19 Although progress is difficult to measure, …….
Thanks in advance.
