Hi All
I teach a basic grammar class for college freshmen, and the text that
I'm using identifies the following sentence as S+LV+SC
"Martin Lurther King Jr. was widely admired."
To me "was admired" looks like a passive verb phrase similar to the
following:
"The children were frightened by the monster."
Can someone help me with what I'm missing here?
Thanks
Carol
