"Eddie surfs the waves with grace."

Who surfs? Eddie (subject)
What does Eddie do? he surfs (verb)
What does Eddie surf? the waves (direct object)
How does Eddie surf? with grace (phrase of manner)

Is this all correct? Did I get the functions well? Would you like to share an analysed phrase in this thread for all the non anglophone fans? Is this a lame idea for a thread? :oops:

    "Jeff is an agile player on the basketball court; his style is smooth and clean."

    Now I need help with this one: What is Jeff on the basketball court? an agile player (what function is this?)
    How is his style? smooth and clean (what function is this?)

    Thanks,
