sentence analysis
Well i will write a sentence and the analysis of that sentence so please give me some opinions about that analysis because i find it hard to understand.(it was one of the tasks at my final exam,and almost everybody failed)
Since I have been trying to convince you that there is a language instinct but would certainly forgive you (if you would rather believe Darwin than believe me), I would also like to convince you that you need not make that choice.
note-conditional sentence doesn`t required analysis

S-explective pronoun-there
V-copula be-is
SC-NP-DetNP(preMod)N

A-conditional if-clause (analysis not necessery)
S-pers.pronoun-I

. . but . .
