Can someone help me break this sentence down for better understanding?
The first thing you need to do is clean your room.
First off, "The First thing", in the sentence above is acting like an adjective for the pronoun "you"? If so, can someone please provide me more internet reference to this pattern of "noun + pronoun"?
Best Answer
First, break the sentence in three: A is B.
Now you can break A: "The first thing (which) you need to do"
And you can break B.
etc.
