Answer 7

"I brushed the horses at the stable all afternoon."

Who is the subject? "I" is the subject. "I" <verb> - what is the verb? "brushed" is the verb, that's the action taking place. What did I brush? That's the direct object. I brushed the horses. "At the stable" tells where I did it, and "all afternoon" tells how long I did it, so those are adverbials.
