他在下週要接受一份新的工作。
結構分析：He是主語，is going to take on是謂語，a new job是賓語，next week是時間狀語。
I am glad to tell you that we are going to take you on.
結構分析：I是主語，am glad是謂語（系動詞am+表語glad，構成系表型謂語）， to tell you that we are going to take you on是不定式片語作賓語（to+謂語tell+間接賓語you+that引導的直接賓語從句，we是主語，are going to take是謂語，you是賓語，on是賓語補語）。
