"All you need is love." --- S1

Can anyone identify
1. subject I think "All" is the subject of the whole sentence, and also it is the object of "need"
2. main verb I think "is" is the main verb.
3. object of S1? I think "All" is the object of "need." In the whole sentence....I'm not sure if there's an object.


"Love is all you need." --- S2

Can anyone identify
4. subject I think "Love" is the subject of this sentence.
5. main verb I think "is" is the main verb.
6. object of S2 Again, I think "All" is the object of "need." In the whole sentence....I'm not sure if there's an object.

7. Are S1 and S2 the same in meaning? I think so, but...there might be a slight difference of emphasis/focus.


I'm not a native speaker of English, so please forgive me if I'm wrong.

You may put your comments if you like.

In my opinion:

"All you need is love." --- S1

Can anyone identify
1. subject
2. main verb
3. object of S1?

All you need is love = All (that) you need is love
1. subject = all
2. main verb = is
3. There's no object.

'that you need' is a relative clause which modifies its antecedent 'all'.
'That' is the object of need in the relative clause.
'Love' functions as a subject complement rather than an object even though 'love' is a non-countable noun not an adjective.



"Love is all you need." --- S2

Can anyone identify
4. subject
5. main verb
6. object of S2

Love is all you need = Love is all (that) you need
4. subject = love
5. main verb = is
6. There's no object.

'That you need' is a relative clause which modifies its antecedent 'all'.
'That' is the object of need in the relative clause.
'All' functions as a subject complement rather than an object even though 'all' is a pronoun not an adjective.

Both S1 & S2 have a sentence structure as in
S + Be + SC
S= subject
Be = verb to be
SC = subject complement

7. Their meaning is more or less the same.
