I am having alot of trouble with these sentences and was wondering if I am correct on the following sentences.

1. My old classmates are all here at the reunion.
2. The inexpensive telephone broke yet again.
3. For purely selfish purposes, here is my amended wish list.
4. For your information, here come the directives from head office.
5. Over the violins came the shrill sound of the flutes.
6. There had been a delay of several weeks.

my answers for these are as follows.

1. Subject- my, Verb- are all
2. S-telephone, V- broke
3. S-list, V- is my
4. S- your, V- directives
5. S- Flutes, V-?
6. S-There, V- delay

Can someone be kind enough to help me with these sentences. I know there are quite a few but I am soooooo lost.

break them down to basics.. get rid of all the adverbs, adjectives, and other modifiers, and you will be able to see what you are working with on these sentences
1---classmates are here
2---telephone broke
3---here is list
4---here come directives
5---sound came
6---there had been delay

A verb is an action be conscious—although in particular circumstances that 'action' is in basic terms a state of being (eg. am, become) an trouble-free situation the element (one be conscious) that the sentence is approximately (solutions who or what): The small brown dogs performed interior the line. the total situation incorporates any modifiers or describing words linked to the situation: THE SMALL BROWN dogs performed interior the line. Btw, the different area of the sentence is named a predicate (it tells what the situation is doing).
