Classifying a command sentence...

[Frye7127]

Please help!!!! My 3rd grade son has to classify a command sentence which is:

Bring your new friend to the family picnic.

He says my classification is wrong and his teacher told him you have to put "You" in front of it and "You becomes the subject noun. He is having trouble classifying "new friend" in the above sentence.

Any grammar geniuses, please help!!!!!

TIA!!!

Would "new friend" be the direct object? I am not a grammar person but this is what comes to mind.

I'm pretty sure "new friend" is a direct object. "You" is the implied subject. (You) Bring your new friend to the family picnic.

Friend is the direct object. New is an adjective.

When in doubt and to simplify, just diagram a sentence like the following example:

P.S. The other posters have given you much better advice than I have.


(you)|bring|friend

(You) implied-Subject
bring -predicate
your -adjective
new -adjective
friend - direct object
to the family picnic -prepositional phrase
