[Noun] "trained by Parisian divas"[Verb] --> is everything that stands between the Noun and the Verb of the (Predicate) considered as a modifier/descriptor?
@mscru2 I think they are becuase they just add more information to the sentence. I think that it can get tricky down the line. Here the example presented seems easy, but once you get to the real questions we will have to be thinking about modifiers, subject, predicate, context, premises and conclusions. Which is what add to the complexity of question. How are we supposed to think of all of those things in every question in the test?
I'm confused. This is the first grammar lesson ive gotten so far and in the video it says that this is the last one and refers to a sentence reviewed in a previous lesson. Is this happening to someone else or is it because of my tailored study plan based on my first lsat practice test I submitted and the amount of time I have until my real test day?
The lesson starts with "last piece of jargon" from grammar but this is the first Grammar section following the arguments section. Am I missing something?
“What you’re seeing can happen depending on the study plan type you generated. Different study plans include different subsets of lessons based on your pace and prep timeline, so some of the earlier Grammar lessons from the full lesson library may be skipped in more streamlined plans.
If your schedule allows for it, you’re welcome to switch to a different study plan type (such as Balanced or Comprehensive), which includes additional lessons from the lesson library. You can make that change anytime in your Study Plan settings.
You’re also welcome to complete additional lessons directly from the Lesson Library if you have time and there are topics you’d like to review more thoroughly.”
@jaidaanderson That's exactly what it is. Probably gonna get applied for splicing complex sentences into more manageable bits for when you're brain is cooked and you need strats for breaking things down rather than trying to wrestle with giant sentences as whole pieces when you're tired. (Alternative: Don't get tired ;) )
Could you also say its not all the cats trained by parisian divas, only the fat ones sing lullabies, so we have no knowledge on tall cats trained by parisian divas. The diagram makes it seem like fat cats are the necessity, and the parisian divas are sufficient, I think those words fit here. But i'm just wondering if you can reverse it as well.

Are modifiers just adjectives and descriptors?

@NathanHays totally wondering same as I start to watch....?

Is this not just basic english/grammar rules or am i crazy?

wh wouldn't you just put "fat" inside a circle? A little confusing
The monkeys were sick.
Subject: The monkeys
Predicate: (were/to be) Sick
Modify: The green monkeys in Elphaba's army were sick.
we've lost the plot LOL
My practice to make sure I'm understanding the material:
Cee enthusiastically studies LSAT Foundations from 7Sage
Subject: Cee
Predicate: Studies (verb) + Foundations (noun/object}
Subject + Predicate: Cee studies Foundations
Modifiers: enthusiastically; LSAT; from 7Sage
Feel free to correct me in the comments :)
i feel like its a little bit extra...
INTRODUCING MODIFIERS IN THE SUBJECT:
The Modifier is a part of the clause. Modifiers (modify/enhance) the subject.
Example: Tough men trained in the police academy fight criminals.
Tough (modifier) -> men (subject)
nouns in the subject can be modified.
think about the modification in terms of cutting down subsets
Clause: people laugh a lot.
Modifier: Fun people who enjoy life laugh a lot.
clause: Lawyers argue cases.
modifiers: Senior lawyers from top law firms argue cases.
Clause: Toddlers eat ramen
Modifiers: Tall toddlers with working moms eat ramen
So modifiers add more specific detail to a sentence. Is that the whole point?
Amazing singers get paid. Amazing singers that also dance get paid.
This is just my practice.
Fat cats that have orange fur eat lasagna
Disgruntled Bankers that haven't ate speak riddles.
Subject: Disgruntled Bankers that haven't ate // Predicate: speak (verb) riddles (object).
For the Subject,
The noun is Bankers, with the addition of modifiers: Disgruntled & haven't ate.
The modifier, "haven't ate", includes a verb: have. Thus, the subject = noun + verb
The subject is a subset of Bankers, that of Bankers who are both disgruntled and haven't ate.

Can't you also modify the predicate and also modify verbs using adverbs
Wait nvm that's the next lesson, oopsies
