'diagram' refers to NP, VP, etc. why? :roll:
Age before beauty. why? :roll:
Enlighten me, Please...
The poster asked if someone would diagram the sentence (i.e., show the sentence's grammatical structure by using syntactic tree diagrams, which require diagonal lines:
NP
/ \
D N
MM responded that there weren't graphics on this site to be able to show tree diagrams. I added that using the terms only, like NP (noun phrase) and VP (verb phrase), would work.
The house (NP) is (VP) nice (AdjP).
MM courteously asked me to go ahead and diagram the sentence, to which I jokingly replied, "Age before beauty", which means, the oldest person should go/do it first.
