Sentence: Featured at the Henry Ford Museum is an exhibit of antique cars dating #1 (permalink) Tue Jan 10, 2006 3:10 am   Sentence: Featured at the Henry Ford Museum is an exhibit of antique cars dating
 

Happy New Year everybody :D

I need some help from all of you with the following sentence
Featured at the Henry Ford Museum is an exhibit of antique cars dating from 1865.

What is the subject and verb of this sentence?
What kind of speech of the word Featured?
Can we write the sentence in the other way?

Waiting for your help, :)

Hey! You're reading about things in my home town! (Or I should say my home metropolis. I don't live in Dearborn.)

The subject is "an exhibit of antique cars..." (In traditional grammar they'd say the subject was "an exhibit".)

The main verb is "is".

"Featured" is a past participle used as a predicate adjective. It describes the noun "exhibit".

Another way to write it would be, "An exhibit of antique cars dating from 1865 is featured at the Henry Ford Museum."

Jupiter --

I am the "Guest" from the previous post. Sorry I forgot to put my name there.

Notice that in the sentence you gave, the part of the predicate that comes after "is" has been placed at the front of the sentence, and the verb "is" has been inverted with the subject.
