Question

What is the verb, helping verb, and direct object in this sentence-Juanitas good driving prevented an accident.
Is it (verb-prevented) (helping verb-an) (direct object) accident

Answer 1

"Juanitas good driving prevented an accident."
I think .....
verb is "to prevent" as you say.
accident could be a noun and thus an object, possibly a direct object.
verb "to drive" written as "driving" is, I think, a gerund (which is a verb used as a noun).
maybe "helping verb" and "gerund" are similar ?
I think that "an" is an article of the noun "accident". Definite would be "The accident.". Indefinite would be "an accident".
I think....
