grammar question

You need to study grammar much more, because your questions only prove you still don't understand the basics.



and

I understand the basics. I don't know why the rest of my post got cut off.

Quite frankly Ive asked a few people and they all tell me different answers

My first thoughts were

For the first sentence

"work" is the subject "is" is the verb and "all they ever talk about" is an adverbial phrase

for the second sentence

"hanging out with her co-workers" is the subject "is" is the verb "all she ever does" is the adverbial phrase

Then I was told

"they" is the subject "talk" is the verb "work" is the object "all" and "ever" are adverbs describing "talk"

For the second sentence "She" is the subject "Does" is the verb "Hang out" is the object

Then someone told me

In the first sentence "all" is the subject, "is" is the verb, "work" is the predicate. "[that] they ever talk about" is a relative clause modifying "all". The second sentence has a similar structure, and "hang out with her coworkers" is the predicate. There are no direct objects in the primary structures of these sentences.


So I'm not sure

I'd agree with Cics' Someone

All is work
All is hang

All they talk about/ is / work

All she does / is / hang out

Nominative phrases can be nouns in the sentence.

Here's one of the best examples I have found on nominative phrases.
