Mostly correct (former high school English teacher here): Subject is "students." Verb: "love" (also the predicate because "love" is the action that the subject "students" do. "Coffee" is definitely the object that "students love," but the question to think about is "who or what receives the action?" "Who or what is 'taking' the love?
The one point to correct is the function of the word "college." "College" in this case is a "modifier." "College" places "students" into a sub-niche, if you well. "College" tells us "what kind of students?" Since "college" modifies a noun/the subject, it is labeled an adjective. Adjectives describe nouns. In this case, "College" is subject adjective.
If I were your English teacher, I would review this concept with you. But since we are fellow pre-law students hoping for a score that gets us into our dream law schools, I wish you well. You got this!
Right below the video it is stated "a predicate always starts with a verb". However isn't this not necessarily correct? For some sentences, such as an inverted sentence wherein the predicate is stated before the subject, the verb is not first.
For instance "on the table sat the cat".
Predicate: on the table (preposition) sat (verb)
Subject: the cat
So for an example like this wouldn't the statement "a predicate always starts with a verb" be incorrect?
