主谓句4:主谓谓语句

Subject-predicate sentence whose predicate is a subject-predicate phrase (subject-predicate predicate sentence)

Explanation

This is a sentence whose main predicate is itself a small subject-predicate phrase. For example: '奶奶身体非常好' (Grandma's health is very good), where '奶奶' is the main subject and '身体非常好' is the predicate (in which '身体' is the small subject and '非常好' is the small predicate). This type of sentence is usually used to describe an aspect or attribute of the main subject, emphasizing the information in the predicate.
