IN this sentence, I am trying to identify all the parts of speech.
"As for me, I don't care for it."
As for me- prep phrase
I- pronoun subject
don't care for it- verb/predicate phrase?
or is "for it" something else?
thanks, Pegg
"As" is serving as a subordinating conjunction.
"for me" is a prepositional phrase
"I" is the subject (pronoun, yes)
"do care" is the verb
"not" (n't) is an adverb
"for it" another prepositional phrase
"don't care for it" is the whole predicate, yes

Great job! You've correctly identified most of the parts of speech in the sentence. Here's a breakdown:
1. "As for me" is a prepositional phrase. "As" is a subordinating conjunction and "for" is a preposition. Together, they introduce the phrase that provides additional information about the subject.
2. "I" is a pronoun and it serves as the subject of the sentence. It is a personal pronoun in the first person singular.
3. "Don't care" is the verb phrase. "Don't" is a contraction of "do not," which functions as an auxiliary verb, and "care" is the main verb. Together, they express the action or state of not having a preference or concern.
4. "For it" is another prepositional phrase. "For" is a preposition and "it" is a pronoun serving as the object of the preposition.
So, to summarize, you've correctly identified "As for me" as a prepositional phrase, "I" as a pronoun subject, "don't care" as the verb/predicate phrase, and "for it" as another prepositional phrase. Well done!
