sentence analysis

[Unregistered]

I've analysed the following sentence but I'm not sure about my result. It would be very helpful to get a hint

She worked very hard so that she could be promoted.

She worked very hard =main clause/ She/S=nphr./worked/P=vphr/very hard=advphr preceded by an adverb

so that she could be promoted=subordinated clause adv.phr. or clause S+P?? of purpose

Dear teacher,

What do you think of my analyses ?

1) She worked very hard.

she = subject
worked = intransitive verb
very hard = adverbial of manner ? (2 adverbs ?)

2) She found the bed very hard.

she = subject (NP)
found = transitive verb (VP)
the bed = direct object (NP)
very hard = subject-complement (adj. P ? = adverb + adjective ?)

3) She bought herself five pounds of chocolate for her birthday.

parts of speech:

she = subject personal pronoun
bought = ditransitive verb
herself = reflexive pronoun
five = determinative adjective / cardinal number ?
pounds = noun
of = preposition
chocolate = noun
for = preposition
her = possessive adjective
birthday = noun

sentence pattern:

She = subject
Bought = verb
Herself = indirect object
Five pounds of chocolate = direct object
For her birthday = adverbial of time / adverbial of purpose ?

Many thanks for you correction.
All the best,
Hela

Hello everyone,

Could someone pleaaaase correct my analysis above ? I would be very grateful.

Regards,
Hela

very hard = subject-complement (adj. P ? = adverb + adjective ?)

How's this a subject complement?

five = determinative adjective / cardinal number ?

I'd call this a determiner

For her birthday = adverbial of time / adverbial of purpose ?
I'd say this was the reason for the purchase, more than the time.

[Casiopea]

I agree with tdol.

1) She worked very hard.
(Adverb of Manner; Cf. She worked like a dog; How?)

2) She found the bed very hard.
(Object Complement; the bed is very hard)

3) She bought herself five pounds of chocolate for her birthday.
(Adverb of Purpose; Why did she buy herself chocolates?)

Thanks to you, tdol and Casiopea! That's very kind of you.

What do you think of :

She is very proud of her looks.

She = subject
is = copula
very proud = subject complement
of her looks = adverbial (?) [of what?] / object of the preposition "of" ?

Thanks a million,
Hela

[Casiopea]

You're welcome. Try,

She is very proud.
S+V+Adv+Adj (Predicate Adjective modified by the adverb "very")

She is very proud of her looks.
S+V+Adv+Adj+Prep+Adj+Noun (Noun phrase;object of preposition "of")
