I'm getting myself confused over something simple here... and just need to double check.

"Kelly and his gang are probably most famous for their clever use of metal body armour."

The adjective phrase here is the entire chunk from 'probably' onwards, right?

I don't wanna make any mistakes here, so I'll run the lot by you.

Here's the text:
"Ned Kelly is an Australian icon. He was the leader of a group of bank robbers known as the Kelly Gang. Kelly and his gang are probably most famous for their clever use of metal body armour. Whenever they robbed a bank they would suit up in bullet proof armour that prevented the police from harming them.

It all started when a police officer assaulted Ned Kelly’s sister and his mother hit the police officer with a shovel. The officer went back to the station and claimed he had been ambushed and beaten up by the Kelly brothers. Ned Kelly’s mother was arrested but the Kelly Gang escaped. After that, they started robbing banks. The general public thought they were heroes because they challenged the colonial government and the rich and wealthy.

In the end they were caught after a big gun fight with the police. Despite wearing bullet proof armour Ned Kelly was shot multiple times, mostly in the legs and arms, and eventually fell to the ground. He was arrested and later he was hanged."


Am I right with each of the following? If not, are there any general mistakes I'm making (like allowing it to cover too much, or doing the opposite and cutting the phrases short)?

1. [NP] the leader of a group of bank robbers
2. [NP] Kelly and his gang
3. [AdjP] probably most famous for their clever use of metal body armour
4. [AdvP] whenever they robbed a bank
5. [PrepP] with a shovel
6. [VP] went back
7. [VP] claimed he had been ambushed and beaten up by the Kelly brothers
8. [PrepP] after a big gun fight with the police

Everything looks right to me.

The adjective phrase begins with the word "most". "probably" is an adverb of "are".

Awesome, thanks Ouyang. That was exactly the kind of thing I knew I'd miss.
