Oh, my! You are confused!
First, let's find the verb. Which word shows action or tells what happened?
<b>The verb is <u>received</u>.</b>
Now -- we'll find the subject by asking "who or what received?"
<b>Obviously the <u>child</u> received. That's the simple subject.
The complete subject is the simple subject plus its modifiers. Which words describe the child?
"The two-and-a-half-month-old" describes child. The complete subject is <u>The two-and-a-half-month-old child</u>.</b>
The subject and verb form the skeleton of the sentence.
<b><u>The two-and-a-half-month-old child received</u></b>
