1. They cannot breathe properly in that stuffy room.
Subject = they
Verb = cannot breathe
properly = adverbial
in that stuffy room = direct object. Od
clause > monotransitive clause.
2. Could they really sing well after a meal?
Subj = they
verb = Could sing (modal simple)
obj = after a meal
adv = well
(SVo ) = Monotransitive clause

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
