Default could you parse those structures? I believe some of them are noun phrases.

How would you parse the following structures: i.e (1,2,3,4,5,6)
1- The language is 2 - one thing that IŽd be worried about.
3- My dog is 4- the thing that IŽd miss the most.
5- My momŽs cooking is 6- something that IŽd really miss.

Thank you very much for your help.

What do the numbers refer to?

number 1 refers to "The language is"
number 2 refers to "one thing that IŽd be worried about"
number 3 refers to "My dog is"
number 4 refers to "the thing that IŽd miss the most"
number 5 refers to "my mumŽs cooking is"
number 6 refers to "something that IŽd really miss"
My question would be if all numbers are noun phrases and if not what are they. Please help me.
