Default Re: subject predicative

Thanks Buddhaheart,
I am starting with a grammar course, and i find it very difficult, perhaps, like everything at its start, there is too much influence of my L1, and its grammar rules.

The question is wether in the proposed example the "whole" subject predicate could be replaced for the pronoum "it", then, modestly, I dare say that it could function as Direct Object. So the key must be in the verb, and in the ability to detect when it fuctions with copular valency patterns.

Thank you.
Salva.
