“We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.” – Harry Potter and The Sorcerer’s Stone, p.51
At the root of the sentence, there is “We are”, with “we” as the subject and “are” as the verb. The rest of the sentence serves to say what “we” is (pleased), why “we” is pleased, to whom this is relevant, and the information being shared. A different version of this could be:
“I am regretful to tell him that he has been deported to Canada.”
