Dear teachers,
Would you please tell me if my analysis is correct ?
1) In the morning, the large black dogs hungrily chase the tiny brown rabbits into the woods.
In the morning = (optional) adverbial of time
the large...dogs = subject
hungrily chase = complex-transitive verb
OR
hungrily = adverbial of manner
chase = complex-transitive verb (?)
the tiny brown rabbits = direct object
into the woods = (obligatory) adverbial of place
2) Not only red but also green looks good on you.
Not only...green = subject
looks = intensive verb
good on you (?) = subject-related complement
OR
good = subject-related complement
on you = obligatory adverbial (??)
Thank you for your help.
