I -- the subject understand -- the simple verb well enough -- how you understand, so an adverb phrase modifying the main verb what difference a few days can make -- the entire noun phrase that is the object of "understand."       Grammar Geek Joined on Tue, Jan 10 2006 Veteran Member 19,683 Barbara, who answers in American English.
