Would you kindly diagram this sentence:


I bought the book for 90% off the regular price.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH

Thank you SO much for the great diagram.

I was wondering: Could I also put the adjective "ninety"

under the horizontal line that has the word "percent"?

THANK YOU

yes, that is what I would do if they were words.

Thanks for your diagram and reminding me that it

should be off of. Diagrams are so helpful. We are

shortchanging our students in not teaching R-K.

I think "off of" could be considered a phrasal preposition to simplify the diagram.

Corum, what do you think about my chart?
