Sentence Structure
The subject of this sentence is 'Losing something,' where 'losing' is a gerund functioning as a noun. The main predicate is 'can sure make you realize how much you loved it, even if you knew you loved it all along.' The sentence is a complex sentence because it contains an independent clause and a dependent clause (introduced by the conjunction 'if').
