Breaking down this sentence

[GreyRabbit]

Hello! I need some help with this sentence:

Her glasses fell through a crack in the bridge.

What's the subject, object, and all that? Is the subject glasses or her? And is "crack in the bridge" simply the predicate? Or is it like noun + prep. + definite article + noun ? Or both?

 

[lauralie2]

Her glasses <subject>
fell <verb>
through a crack <prepositional phrase>
in the bridge <prepositional phrase modifying "a crack">

 

[Frank Antonson]

Her glasses <subject>
fell <verb>
through a crack <prepositional phrase>
in the bridge <prepositional phrase modifying "a crack">

"Her glasses" could also be called the "complete subject" and "fell" the simple predicate as opposed to "fell through a crack in the bridge" as the complete predicate.

Right. Everything after the subject is the predicate. The subject is "glasses", "her" its modification. The whole phrase "her glasses" is predicated.
