There have been times when I bought a shirt or T-shirt because it looked good on the mannequin, little realizing that when you have the figure of a mannequin, any piece of clothing — cheap or expensive, loose or body-hugging — suits you. Can anyone do an 'Anatomy of the above Sentence' explaining grammatically each and every word of it and thus introducing the confusing terms like tense, subject, predicate, verb, adjective, adverb, preposition, gerund, present participle and so on to budding English Learners?

Yes ....Your way of writing is much confusion and with conflict. Sentences are formed only to communicate certain thing. That should be crystal clear. The opponent should understand first what you want to say or what is in your mind and what you want to reveal others. O.K...The prime fault of you is you not making sentence with shorter length. If you make sentence like goods train definitely you will commit error. So first you try to write in simple shorter length sentence. First practice that. read less

That would require a sitting and an understanding of detailed 'English Grammar'. However , just for your information , for making the above example into a better sentence, I advise that the word ' have ' be added between 'when' and ' I' :::: '' There have been times when I HAVE bought a shirt or -------''....

Quite intriguing...It looks perfect. But, can a complex sentence have two independent clauses? Independent Clause 1 - There have been times when I bought a shirt or T-shirt because it looked good on the mannequin. Independent Clause 2 - Any piece of clothing — cheap or expensive, loose or body-hugging...

It is a complex sentence that has two subordinate clauses. Complex sentences will have one principal clause and one or more subordinate clauses. When complex sentences are analyzed, only the different clauses are identified. Please pick up a simple sentence for thorough analysis: that would be ideal for picking up the various parts of speech. You could probably analyze the present sentence this way: Principal Clause: There have been times Subordinate Clause 1: (Adverb clause of time) When I bought a shirt or T-shirt ‘When’ is the subordinate Subordinate Clause 2: (Adverb clause of reason) because it looked good on the mannequin; ‘because’ is the subordinating conjunction. Subordinate clause 3: (Participle clause) ¬¬¬, little realizing that when you have the figure of a mannequin, any piece of clothing, cheap or expensive, loose or body-hugging, suits you. Realizing: participle That: relative pronoun read less
