A : Yes, she was; needlework was her favourite hobby.
Don't you think the ' made ' is supposed to be ' make ' since ' make ' is used as a noun in this situation ?
Thanks in advance
I agree with Natalie. :D
There's a typo. Either 'of' should be deleted,
It's one my mother made.
or 'the ones' should be added,
It's one of the ones my mother made.
Note that, the relative pronoun
that has been omitted:
It's one that my mother made.
It's one of the ones that my mother made.
Note also, 'that my mother made' is a clause (clauses have a subject and a verb) modifying 'one':
one (that) my mother made
Cf. my mother made
one Structure It (Subject; pronoun, refers to the tea cozy)
is (Linking verb)
one (Predicate nominative)
that (Omitted relative pronoun)
that my mother made (adjective clause modifying 'one')
my mother (Subject, noun phrase: possessive pronoun+noun)
made (past tense verb)
All the best, :D
