1. They cannot breathe properly in that stuffy room.

Subject = they
Verb = cannot breathe
properly = adverbial
in that stuffy room = adverbial adjunct of place
clause > Intransitive clause. (I've never seen a clause with this name.)

2. Could they really sing well after a meal?
Subj = they
verb = Could sing (modal simple)
adverbial adjunct of time = after a meal
adv = well
(SVo ) = Intransitive clause
