Sentence component analysis

First level:
And I (subject) think (predicate) this is where most people fail (object clause) because it's a fact (adverbial clause)

Second level:
This (subject) is (linking verb) where most people fail (predicative clause)

It (subject) is (linking verb) a fact (predicative)

Third level
Most people (subject) fail (predicate)

The only thing I want to confirm is that whether I made the right analysis or not? Please tell me. Thank you guys very much!

Feedback

I concur, except, I would use "predicate" instead of "predicative". I'm not familiar with the latter, so I speculate that it is not common.

Predicative means 表语 in Chinese. “I am a teacher” in this sentence, according my grammar book, this sentence is 主语(subject )系动词(linking verb)表语(predicative)structure. Thank you for your corrections, thank you very much.
