Default Re: Need help with analysis

Dear Sarah,

You have a complex sentence here. The independent clause you already understand. The subordinate clause: "if I go first." "I" is the subject, "go" the verb (first person singular of the verb "to go") and "first" is an adverb. That leaves "if," the subordinating conjunction that links one clause to the other.

Problem solved?

Sue
