Hi All
I teach a basic grammar class for college freshmen, and the text that I'm using identifies the following sentence as a Subject + LV+ Subject complement.
Martin Luther Kind 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
