I've been attempting a grade 7 pass paper and I'm a bit stuck on identifying a chord.

The notes from the bottom are C F E flat and A the answer book says it should be V7c major

I get the V7c but I thought that the interval between F and A was major, F to C major and F to E flat is minor so it wouldn't be a major chord???

I'm sure its something simple I'm missing, but please enlighten me!

thanks in advance

It is a dominant seventh chord in B flat major hence the Eb

It is a major chord. It's the third of the chord (the note A, in this case) which determines whether it's major or minor. As Jason says, the Eb is a seventh.

This is correct. A Dominant 7th in B flat would be F A C Eflat, so C F Eflat A is the second inversion

It might help to revise grade 6 as this is where the knowledge of the dominant 7 chord comes in.
