 How to parse a sentence in the passive voice?
Hello All
This is my first thread. I am very happy to see such forums to discuss matters related to English.
I am facing a big problem with parsing the passive voice sentences. Consider the following:
The computer has been purchansed by the group.
Logically:
the computer = Subject
has been purchased = Verb
In case the above is the correct parsing, how can we parse: by the group???
But, can we look at the sentence from another angle???
The Computer = Subject
Has been= Verb
purchased by the group= complement
Thank you

Reason: Correcting the spelling of "complement"
