✔ 最佳答案
純粹解釋句子的結構,無論 meaning 正確與否:

1. I later found my decision to wait had been wise.

S: I
Temporal adjunct: later (adverb modifying "found")
V: found
O: (that) my decision to wait had been wise (noun clause as object of "found")

Within the noun clause:
S: my decision to wait (noun phrase, "to wait" infinitive modifying "decision")
V: had been (linking verb)
SC: wise (predicative adjective as subject complement)

2. chocolate covered biscuit stick with almond

S: Chocolate
V: covered (past tense)
O: biscuit stick
Modificative adjunct: with almond (i.e. adverbial prepositional phrase modifying "cover")

Oxford dictionary: cover (verb)
2. [transitive] cover something to lie or spread over the surface of something
e.g. Snow covered the ground.
3. [transitive] to put or spread a layer of liquid, dust, etc. on somebody/something
e.g. The wind blew in from the desert and covered everything with sand.

第二句的意思不是很正確!

Consider noun phrase:
chocolate biscuit stick covered with almond 鋪上杏仁的巧克力餅乾棒

"covered" is an adjective in the above phrase

1. 整句意思是什麼?

我後來(之後)發現,我決定要等待是明智的。(中文不會用太多形容詞)

我決定要等待是明智的 = It was wise that I decided to wait. (verbs are mostly used instead of noun in English )
