I have the statement like that to present in x-bar scheme, if any one willing to help, I'll be grateful:

The detectives have all read the letter in the garden shed after lunch.

I don't know if it makes any sense:

1.statement branches into NP [the detectives] and VP [all read the letters in the garden shed after lunch]
2. NP branches into: Det. [the] and N [detectives]
3. VP branches into: Specif. [all] and V" [read the letter in the garden shed after lunch]
4. V" branches into: V' [read the letter in the garden] and AdvP [after lunch]
5. V' branches into: V' [read the letter] and PP [in the garden]
6. V' branches into: V [read] and NP [the letter]


And one more what with 'all' in this statement to what it belongs to NP or VP?


Thank you for any advise!
