Hello,
I require some assistance with a couple sentences please,
[The rioters [hold onto [the notion [that a physical protest is their right.]]] or [hold on [to the notion.]]]
1.In the above sentence is 'hold onto' or 'hold on'-'to the notion' a phrasal verb?
2.Subsequently, is 'to the notion' or 'the notion' a complement that is required of the phrasal verb?
3.Finally, is 'the notion' the direct object of 'hold onto' and is the 'nominal that clause' a clausal complement of the DO or the Verb?
I met a man who believes that he is Jesus reincarnated.
1. Is reincarnated an object complement? and is the word class a verb or an adjective?
Thank you.
