Asked by Shivangi
okay, so i have this English test tommorow morning on subjects & predicates, can u please help me!!!
My first question is, I know that a prepositional phrase isn't supposed to be included in the simple subject, but can it be included in the complete subject?
For Example : On Beartooth Highway in Montana, excellent campgrounds and scenic overlooks provide many views of distant glaciers.
CS - On Beartooth Highway in Montana, excellent campgrounds and scenic overlooks
SS - campgrounds and overlooks
CP - provide many views of distant glaciers.
SP - provide
Would this be correct?
Secondly, this sentence confused me a little - Sacagawea of the Shoshones helped open the West.
CS - Sacagawea of the Shoshones
SS - Sacagawea
CP - helped open the West
SP - helped open
Is this correct? I m confused because of the "helped." Would that be included in the simple predicate?

My first question is, I know that a prepositional phrase isn't supposed to be included in the simple subject, but can it be included in the complete subject? <b>sometimes; only if it's modifying that subject</b>
For Example : On Beartooth Highway in Montana, excellent campgrounds and scenic overlooks provide many views of distant glaciers.
CS - On Beartooth Highway in Montana, excellent campgrounds and scenic overlooks <b>No, just "excellent ... overlooks" is the complete subject.</b>
SS - campgrounds and overlooks <b>yes, but I think without the conjunction "and"</b>
CP - provide many views of distant glaciers. <b>yes</b>
SP - provide <b>yes</b>
Would this be correct?
<b>I think the prepositional phrases at the beginning of the sentence are more adverbial than adjectival.</b>
Secondly, this sentence confused me a little - Sacagawea of the Shoshones helped open the West.
CS - Sacagawea of the Shoshones
SS - Sacagawea
CP - helped open the West
SP - helped open
<b>Only "helped" is the SP; "open" is part of an infinitive, except that the word "to" (in front of "open" has been omitted.</b>
Is this correct? I m confused because of the "helped." Would that be included in the simple predicate?
<b>Is the above explanation clear?
