He says in the video don't get too caught up in the details as long as you can get the main subject and verb. As long as you can identify the main point of the sentence among all the modifiers thats the most important part.
Number 3 was a little confusing due to the existence of black holes being a whole modifier rather than black hole being the object predicate. Physicist were puzzled by black holes sounds like the broken down sentence
Okay why am I sorta bad at this lol. For question 4, I said America instead of the territories (minor mistake), and for question 3, I thought black holes were an object?? Oh well
4/5 only b/c I'm still a bit confused on Q3 and how black holes isn't an object. I thought that by asking "what" they were puzzled by, black holes would be an object. Is it because black holes is attached to "of"?
I'm going to ask a question that may be a little dumb. In question 5 is it completely incorrect for the sentence to break down into: "Shakespeare captured era" or to say "writings captured era"?
Who is speaking? this person seems much more understandable than the other person who has been speaking. Pace is slower not sped up, and they speak clearly. The other person has a very thick accent.
Why in question 5 is "writings" not the subject noun? And modified as whose writings -- William Shakespeare's. It also makes sense that captures is the predicate verb in this bc I can ask what the writings did, and answer they captured... and so on.
the answer key on question 4 lists "by acquiring the Louisiana purchase" as one line. Shouldn't we break up the line into acquiring and the Louisiana purchase?
For 4. Couldn't 'Durning his presidency' be considering a modifier of the subject? we aren't talking about Thomas Jefferson at all times, but the subset of Thomas Jefferson while he was president. Why is this not also correct? and does it matter?

why is existence not the predicate object of question 3?
number 3 kind of confused because i though that the object of puzzled was black holes
I don't understand, aren't the details the modifiers? then why not get caught up in them?

QUESTION 3: shouldn't existence of Black holes be the subject since it is doing the puzzling (Predicate) of physicists (Object)?

For question 3, why is black holes not considered the object?
Grammar is a lil tough

First 5/5!

It's like I'm back in 8th grade. Good to know I'm still good at this haha.
this ain't it chat
Confused as to why "black holes" is not a predicate-object; I though the correct answer was "physicists were puzzled by black holes"
help
chile im confused
I truly think the addition of predicate-object was unnecessary. By far the least clear lesson 7Sage has offered. Not a fan of the "Answer" format.
5/5!
I'm going to ask a question that may be a little dumb. In question 5 is it completely incorrect for the sentence to break down into: "Shakespeare captured era" or to say "writings captured era"?
is it me or is this challenging lmfao

In question 3 wouldn't the object in the predicate be black holes?
