The Justice Department showcased just how central he was when it made the strategic decision to focus at the trial on his actions—and to make his video deposition and e-mails the public relations centerpiece of its case.

请问:

状语从句when it made the strategic decision…的修饰对象是how central he was当中的动作was还是谓语showcased呢?(个人倾向于单纯从语法上就能判断出该状语从句修饰的是was。)

不定式to focus at the trial on his actions在句子中充当的成份是什么词类呢?

I made him wash the car. 句子中的wash为原形动词,连同the car一块作宾语补语,那样这个宾语补语是名词还是形容词呢?

1 when时间状语从句移至句首,句义不变,it指的是The Justice Department,he是将被审判的嫌犯。显然状语从句是修饰主句谓语showcased的。

2 不定式短语to make...是decision的同位语。同位语是名词性的成分。故不定式在这里起的是名词词组有哪些用途。

3 复合宾语中的宾语和宾补之间有二种逻辑主谓关系:主语是是什么?主语如何了/干什么了。前者是名词性的,后者是形容词性的。made him wash the car.他显然不是”洗“。故这个宾补是形容词性的。即不定式起了形容词的描述用途。

网友应注意,非谓语动作充当句子成分,仍然是动词,只是可以充当名词、形容词或副词性的成分,不可以说非谓语动词是名词、形容词或副词。这是定义问题。
