    Text from 'Lassie, Come Home' by Eric Knight.
    Key: Subjects are underlined; finite verbs are bold, complements are between [square brackets,] prepositional phrases are between {curly brackets.}

    1. I'll go {to the market}. | 2. We've done the [best] we can. | 3. And still she had not closed the [gate].| 4. What [#1] are you trying to do [#1] now? | 5. A young child does not have to undergo many dangerous [experiences] {in life}. | 6. It's going to walk {round this loch}? | 7. {In those trenches} they had had no warm [hearths.] | 8. Well, a valuable dog will have [owners] somewhere. | 9. The one driving force {of her life} was wakened, | and it was leaving [her ] no [peace. ]| 10. Never before {in her five years} {of life} had she been out alone {at night}. |

    Most grammar textbooks would describe What simply as an interrogative pronoun, but note that it simultaneously functions as the direct object of the verbal (infinitive) to do. The infinitive functions as the direct object of are trying. More on this later. Prepositional phrases are between {curly brackets}. You were NOT asked to identify these. I have included this in the solution to make identification of subjects and verbs easier.
