Did our teasing make Sidney UPSET Is upset a predicate nominative?

Why is it important to be able to identify the types of words and phrases and clauses in a sentence?
While you may never again need to physically label the subject, verb or predicate of a sentence, the exercise helps you learn how to construct a sentence while using proper grammar. By learning how to identify a subject and a verb, you also learn how to identify when those items are missing from a sentence, which would result in a sentence fragment that is not commonly acceptable grammar.
What roles does the infinitive phrase play in this sentence?
The infinitive phrase in a sentence acts as a noun, adjective, or adverb. It can serve a variety of functions, such as showing purpose, result, cause, or giving more information about the subject or verb.
What are position of nouns?
In a sentence, nouns can typically function as the subject, object, or complement. As the subject, a noun names the person, place, thing, or idea performing the action or being described. As an object, a noun receives the action of the verb or shows the result of the action. Complements are nouns that complete a linking verb and provide more information about the subject.
What do you call a sentence without commas?
Are you referring to "run-on sentences"? A run-on sentence is one where it is a compound sentence (two subjects and two predicates, which could function as two separate sentences) yet a separation is not made between them. Example: Original: I went to the store. I bought food there. Run-on: I went to the store and I bought food there. Correct: I went to the store, and I bought food there. You could also remove the subject from the second part and that would remove the need of a comma. Example: I went to the store and bought food there. In this case, the sentence is correct because the same subject is applied to both predicates. To say "I went to the store. Bought food there," would result in an incomplete sentence, one which when added to the first can not result in a run-on. (Note: In this case, you may not say "I went to the store, and bought food there," because then you are creating a separation between the two parts of the sentence resulting in the lack of an identified subject for the latter part.)
