TREE DIAGRAM PHRASES

[Anna3]

Hello,
I am not sure how to draw the phrase "The very old dog wandered aimlessly"

Given the limitations of the forum formatting, it is very difficult to draw diagrams.

Your sentence is parsed as follows: The (definite article associated with "dog") - very (adverb modifying "old") - old (adjective modifying "dog") - dog (noun, subject of sentence) - wandered (main verb, past tense) - aimlessly (adverb modifying "wandered").
