Hi,
I hope you can help me! I am unsure how to analyse the structure of the following sentences.
1 - You (subject) look (linking verb) like your sister (prepositional phrase as subject complement).
2 - His knee seemed to swell.
3 - He (subject) seems to be (verb) a nice boy (subject complement).
the verb seem + infinitive, in particular, is giving me a headache
Do "seem to be" and "seem to" need to be analysed as whole units?
Thanks for your help.
