Parsing a sentence is the most frequently asked task from school, which some people fail to do. Today I will tell you how to outwit your teacher and do everything right.

Today I will give you the TOP 5 services that will help you analyze a sentence into parts of speech.

All of them can perform some kind of parsing of sentences or words. Each of them has some pros and cons.

These services will be specialized for both Russian and .

And let me tell you, they don't work great per se, but they will help you get most of your job done.

Comparison

In the tables above, I have listed the best of the best services that can help you with your sentence parsing assignments.

If you have read the table, I propose to start analyzing each of the services and we will start from the very last line of our list and gradually reach the leader of our TOP.

№5 Lexis Res

Using this link you can get to this service and evaluate its work yourself: http://www.lexisrex.com/English/Sentence-Study.

What kind of site is this? For people who study English, this is just a treasure. This page allows you to analyze English text. It can be used by a person with any level of knowledge.

This is a service that allows you to parse a sentence entirely in English. Sentences can be simple, complex, compound or complex.

In addition to the fact that the site does this analysis of any type of sentence, it also explains each word by meaning. That is, if you do not know the exact meaning of a word, then this resource is perfect for you.

You just need to write the text you need in the field or click the “Random sentences” button, and then click the “Analyze” button, and then you will receive a detailed analysis of each word in the sentence: an explanation of the meaning of the word, Part of speech.

What advantages does this site have over others? First of all, the service is very easy to use; you won’t need to spend a lot of time to understand what’s what.

Secondly, the site has a huge database that allows you to parse text of any complexity and topic.

In addition, the site has enormous functionality; it will be useful in many other ways for people who are studying English.

  • easy to use website;
  • There are practically no advertisements that would distract;
  • simple site interface;
  • huge functionality;
  • very good parsing.
  • If you do not have a satisfactory level of knowledge of the English language, it will be a little difficult to read all the explanations on the site;
  • words during parsing are not underlined by parts of speech lines;
  • there is no adaptation of the site to the Russian language.

As you can see, the ratio of pros and cons allows us to call this site good, but not great, which is why it is in fifth place.

№4 Delph-in

In fourth place is a service called “Delph-in".

You can try it out using this link: http://erg.delph-in.net/logon. This site is a real monster for people who are learning English. This service allows you to have online access to LinGO English Resource Grammar (ERG).

The grammar development platform Linguistic Knowledge Builder is used here.

This interface allows you to enter a single sentence using the ERG system and visualize the results of the analysis in various forms.

I will say right away that the site is suitable for those who are quite experienced in the English language, but this site is simply magnificent and necessary for such people.

What advantages does this service have? First of all, this site has a better degree of analysis of the proposal according to the method that is used at the University of Oslo, and to be precise, the Language Technology Group.

Now we will look at both the pros and cons of this service.

  • very flexible sentence parsing system;
  • you can write proposals on a variety of topics;
  • an unlimited number of characters can be used in a sentence.
  • the first of them is that the service is quite complex for people with low and intermediate levels of English to use;
  • To understand how the service works and disassemble it in order to understand what’s what, you need to devote several hours to the site.

We have familiarized ourselves with the fourth position and now we will move on to the third place of our TOP.

№3 MorphologyOnline

This site is ideal for those who need to qualitatively parse a sentence step by step, word by word, so as not to make mistakes and correctly select each part of speech for each word in the sentence being analyzed.

The service is also useful because it has a very broad description of each searched word.

What advantages does this service have? Let's look at them.

The first thing is that it is very easy to use. Its interface does not have any distracting elements, which will allow you to fully concentrate on the written information.

In addition to the fact that the service indicates the part of speech of a word, it also describes a morphological analysis, which makes the analysis of the word deeper and more thorough.

This will help you never make a mistake in parsing your sentence. Also, if you want to familiarize yourself with the parts of speech in detail, you can find information on this site, which is very conveniently and clearly explained.

Now let’s look at the service from both sides and see both the pros and cons. Let's start with the positive side.

  • very simple - even the youngest user can handle it;
  • there are no annoying advertisements, which makes using the service comfortable;
  • deep Scan;
  • a huge amount of information for independent syntactic parsing of a sentence.

It is because of these pros and cons that the service takes only third place. Now it's time for second place.

No. 2 "Gramota.ru"

Why is this service in 4th place? This site allows you to analyze one word at a time across all Russian dictionaries, which not only indicate the part of speech, but also explain the meaning of the searched word, synonyms, antonyms, and various forms.

Here you can even find the correct stress for any Russian word.

Therefore, if you want to fully analyze a word or increase your level of knowledge of the Russian language, you can safely use this resource.

Let's take a closer look at the advantages of the site. First of all, there is a very nice interface, everything is clear, you don’t need to search for anything. Everything you need can be immediately seen on the monitor display. The site itself has no advertising.

The entire design of the site is made in simple colors, that is, your eyes will not get so tired from reading this site for a long time.

Absolutely anyone can use this service: from first class to the elderly.

Since I have described all the possible advantages in great detail, you can now make a whole short list and also add negative aspects to see the full picture.

  • an easy-to-use site that won’t take up much of your time;
  • nice interface;
  • absence of annoying advertising;
  • all kinds of materials for learning the Russian language.
  • you can only analyze one word at a time;
  • the site is more geared towards general word analysis than syntactic analysis.

We have reviewed and examined in detail the second place and now we will move on to the leader of our TOP.

How to parse correctly

Analyzing a sentence and drawing up a diagram are included in the basic knowledge of the school curriculum. Therefore, such tasks are given to students already in elementary school, where they learn to parse a simple text structure.

In grades 5–8 and 9–11, the task becomes more complicated: new terms and additional characteristics appear. A full set of signs is given already in the 7th–8th grades. To correctly draw up a diagram, you need to understand the essence of the analysis and remember a few rules.

What is sentence parsing

The answer lies in the term itself. Syntax is a system of rules for connecting different units together. Accordingly, the purpose of syntactic analysis of a text structure is to show the connections between its components.

note

For parsing, the text or the required part of it is written out in a notebook, one line at a time, so that there is room for underlining and markings above the words.

How to parse a sentence correctly? A plan illustrated with examples will help answer this question.

Analysis algorithm and characteristics

There is a clear order of parsing. If you stick to it, there will be no problems.

A simple sentence is a unit of a syntax system that has only one predicative part. This means that only one grammatical basis (two-part) or only one main member (one-part) can be identified in it. The order of its parsing is as follows:

1. In a two-part sentence, find and emphasize the subject (what is being said) and the predicate (what is being said); in a one-component – ​​the main member:

2. Determine the type by the content of the speaker’s task, or by the purpose of the utterance:

  • Narrative: The dug-up road sleeps. (S. Yesenin)
  • Interrogative: What should we do in the village? (A. Pushkin)
  • Incentive: Let's go to Tsarskoe Selo! (O. Mandelstam)

3. Syntactic parsing of a sentence is not complete without several characteristics:

3.1. By composition:

Two-part – both subject and predicate are present:

Monocomponent differs in that the subject (what is said) and the predicate (what is said) are expressed by one member. It is not called “subject” or “predicate”, as in two-part, because its meaning is not reducible to either of these components. To designate this unit, the term “main member of a one-component sentence” (PCHOP) is used.

You also need to specify the type of one-part:

  • Definitely personal - GCOP is expressed by a verb of the 1st and 2nd person singular. h. Closest to two-part: the unnamed subject of the action is restored by the listener according to the form of the verb.
    Examples:
    I love the sandy slope (A. Pushkin)
    What are you doing sweetie? (A. Ostrovsky)
    Please leave them, leave quickly. (Yu. Dombrovsky)
  • Indefinite-personal – GCOP is expressed by a 3rd person plural verb. h. When parsing a sentence syntactically, it is important to understand the connection between form and meaning: here such a verb is used because the subject of the action is not so important or expressed collectively.
    Examples:
    “We don’t carry machine guns! We have no weapons!” - they shout from the trucks. (V. Makanin).
    Brick and concrete wall surfaces are finished with plaster (Landscape Design. 2003. No2)
  • Generalized-personal – GCHOP is expressed by a verb of the 2nd person singular. h. (less often - in the form of the 1st person singular and plural). Meaning – generalization of personal or collective experience.
    Examples:
    You do something for him, you fight like a fly in a web... (A. Volkov)
    You won’t recognize a friend without trouble (last)
    They don’t go to someone else’s monastery with their own rules (last)
  • Impersonal - expresses the manifestation of processes or states that occur or exist independently of the active figure. The independence of action from the subject, the inability to change the course of events, is a key feature of this type. During the syntactic parsing of sentences, impersonal units are those units whose PHOP is expressed by a state category, an adverb or an infinitive.
    Examples:
    I felt scared - so be it...
    We can't do magic with Tatyana. (A. Pushkin)
    Since the evening he had been uneasy, either shivering or aching. (A. Solzhenitsyn)
  • Nominative (nominative) – denotes an object in space, indicates, gives an assessment. Most often, GCHOP is expressed by a noun, which is in the nominative case.
    Examples:
    Warm gusts of wind,
    Distant thunder and rain sometimes... (F. Tyutchev)

3.2. By prevalence

  • unextended - there are only main members: We were leaving. (R. Rozhdestvensky)
  • common - there are both major and minor: The golden grove dissuaded me // With birch, cheerful language. (S. Yesenin)

3.3. By completeness

  • complete – self-sufficient in meaning: I love thunderstorms in early May (F. Tyutchev)
  • incomplete – the meaning is not clear without context: Do you love chess? - Not good. (S. Dovlatov). It is impossible to understand the meaning of the answer outside the context of the question.

4. The next stage of syntactic parsing of a sentence is identifying cases of complication:

Homogeneous members:

I wandered in a toy thicket // And discovered an azure grotto... (O. Mandelstam)– complication with homogeneous predicates.

Separate members:

  • Participial phrase: The Krasovs' great-grandfather, nicknamed the Gypsy by the courtyard, was hunted down by the master Durnovo with greyhounds. (I. Bunin)
  • Participial phrase: ...looking at him, how can one not remember the horse? (A. Golyandin)
  • Standalone application: I called another friend of mine, a very large farmer from Argentina... (A. Tarasov)
  • Contact: Aunt Vasya, they left me with a task to redo, and Tanya was waiting for me... (L. Ulitskaya)
  • Introductory structures:
    You yourself said that you are my friend. (A. Vampilov)
    But it happens that in the morning you shave, wash, get dressed - look in the mirror - you will be satisfied... (E. Grishkovets)
  • Plug-in designs:
    Really - even if you don't want to - couldn't you do this for me?

5. Highlight the members of the sentence - that is, establish the syntactic function of the components and make the appropriate underlining. This is the largest section in terms of volume. At this stage you need to be especially careful, because one awkward mistake at the beginning can lead to incorrect syntactic construction and evaluation of a simple construction.

Beginners should do their analysis based on this article or textbook. You can select the material for analysis yourself or take home exercises. Experienced students can peek into theory only where necessary. To consolidate the skill, you need to do several analyzes yourself and then check them. For verification, it is better to contact the teacher, and if this is not possible, do a syntactic analysis of the sentence composition online.

After the grammatical basis, you need to find the members of the sentence of the subject group (that is, those to which the question is asked from the subject) and the predicate group. Each member is emphasized in its own way:

The type of member and the part of speech by which it is expressed are written above the words. Example: with bitterness - a circumstance of a course of action, expressed by a noun. with a preposition in creativity. case.

Parsing a complex sentence will not be difficult to master after studying the previous material. The plan is:

  1. Select all the grammatical bases, count them and determine how many simple parts make up a complex one. There are as many parts as there are basics.
    Dad got on the horse and we rode off. (L. Tolstoy). There are two simple ones in this complex unit.
  2. Find conjunctions and allied words.
    I’m sorry that it’s winter now (O. Mandelstam)– subordinating conjunction “what”.
    When Cherubina exposed herself, Makovsky came to visit her (M. Voloshin)– subordinating conjunction “when”.
    Sleepless nights and half-asleep days flew by, but there was no help from anywhere. (N. Pomyalovsky)– adversative conjunction “but”.
    Unlike conjunctions, allied words will always be full members of the sentence; logical stress may fall on them.
    Russia is converging with the West, which until then was completely alien to it. (A. Khomyakov)
    If you have difficulties in the analysis, you can contact a search engine and analyze the proposal on the Internet for free. But if you have the opportunity to talk to the teacher, it is better to solve the problem this way. There are many difficult places in Russian syntax, which can only be understood in conversation with a teacher.
  3. Indicate the meaning of conjunctions and, accordingly, indicate the nature of the connection between the parts. They come in three types:
    Essays consist of two or more equal components: She gave him her hand, and both went along the road to her estate. (I. Turgenev)
    In subordinate clauses, the main and dependent parts are distinguished, and a question is asked from the first to the second and the type of dependent (subordinate) component is determined from it: An hour and a half later I wake up because the sun begins to burn my cheek (M. Voloshin). We ask the question: why do I wake up, for what reason? The type of dependent part is a clause of cause.
    The essence of the non-union is clear from the term itself. Such units lack any lexical means of communication: Koltsov is not only a national poet: no, he stands higher. (V. Belinsky)
  4. This stage of syntactic parsing of a complex sentence is relevant only for complex constructions. Its content is to determine the meaning of subordinate clauses.
    I barely had time to put on my cloak when it began to snow (M. Lermontov) - subordinate tense.
    Now a neighbor came running to her wife and said that the old people had gathered at the mosque and wanted to stop you (L. Tolstoy) - explanatory clause.
    The name Morgach also suited him, although he did not blink his eyes more than other people (I. Turgenev) - a subordinate clause.
    The prince did not hear anything further, because the valet began to whisper. (F. Dostoevsky) – subordinate reason.
  5. Analysis of each simple component within a complex one.

What is a proposal scheme

The final chord of the analysis is a diagram drawing. It is a graphical representation of basic information: the number of parts, their relationships, means of communication and types of dependent parts.

A drawing is an abstraction of syntactic relations, delimited from specific lexical content. A correctly compiled drawing shows a high understanding of the “Syntax and Punctuation” section and competent mastery of syntactic parsing of a sentence.


Unit boundaries are indicated by square brackets; A period is placed after the closing parenthesis. Homogeneous members in the diagram are circled, and the participial phrase is placed in parentheses.

In a complex scheme, accordingly, two or more parts are distinguished. In the text itself, they are separated by brackets to transfer this mapping into the diagram, and are numbered in order. Only the base is transferred to the diagram. Since you will have to draw a lot, to make the drawing even, use a stencil and a sharpened pencil.

In non-union and complex compounds, only square brackets are used to show the equality of the parts:

For the syntactic analysis of sentences with a main and dependent (dependent) parts, that is, complex constructions, there are two types of schemes - horizontal and vertical:

Syntactic analysis of simple and complex sentences on the Internet

Obviously, such an analysis takes a lot of time and effort and requires certain knowledge and skills. Therefore, many students prefer to do analysis of syntactic structure by composition online. This is a good tool for self-examination, but only if the quality of service deserves respect.

You can do an analysis on the Glavred website (glvrd.ru). The syntax analysis here does not correspond to the school one, but it will tell you the names of the parts of speech and identify some members of the sentence. For use:

  1. Paste text into the window on the main page.
  2. Select the “Syntax” tab at the top left of the window.
  3. Point at the highlighted word and get information in the white field to the right of the window.

Another resource is School Assistant (school-assistant.ru). Its advantage is brevity in the presentation of the material. The path to analysis information is as follows:

  1. In the left menu, click “Russian”.
  2. Select the desired class (5, 6, 7).
  3. Select the section you are interested in.

A brief theoretical reference and tasks will appear on the page, which will be automatically checked after completion. To save results, you need to register in your personal account.

Create a diagram online

Comparing results from different sites with your own analysis will help you check the work of electronic intelligence and choose the best one among them. It is better to contact an online assistant after analyzing and completing the drawing yourself, so that third-party information does not interfere with your training.

You can also understand the structure through linguist forums, where experienced specialists will help resolve controversial issues. It is also better to contact them after some part of the task has already been completed, so that there is a subject for discussion.

Tables and diagrams, which are available in large quantities on the Internet, will also provide great support. All of these resources and materials will help you create a syntactic analysis (diagram) of a sentence and analyze it according to its composition online for free. The key to success is understanding the theory and regular practice.

§1. What is syntactic parsing, what are its specifics?

Parsing- this is a complete grammatical characteristic of a syntactic unit:

  • phrases
  • simple sentence
  • complex sentence

When performing syntactic analysis, it is important to be able to distinguish between units of syntax, to realize that these are units of different levels, and to understand what features characterize each of them. Syntactic analysis requires not to confuse a phrase and a simple sentence, as well as a simple and complex sentence, and to know how to parse each of them.

§2. What you need to know and be able to do

Parsing requires knowledge and skills.

Need to know:

  • what is the difference between a phrase and a sentence
  • what is the difference between a simple and complex sentence
  • how a phrase is constructed, and what they are like (type by main word)
  • syntactic connections of words in a phrase: agreement, control, adjacency
  • what features characterize a sentence: the purpose of the utterance, semantic and intonation completeness, the presence of a grammatical basis
  • what are the sentences based on the number of grammatical bases: simple, complex
  • What are the types of simple sentences in their structure: two-part, one-part (nominal, definite-personal, indefinite-personal, generalized-personal, impersonal)
  • what are the types of complex sentences: according to the nature of the syntactic connection of their parts: allied, non-union; allied: complex and complex)
  • what is the syntactic role of words in a sentence (analysis by sentence members)

You need to be able to:

  • determine which syntactic units the unit given for analysis belongs to
  • highlight phrases in a sentence
  • find the main and dependent word in a phrase
  • determine the type of syntactic connection
  • determine the grammatical basis of a sentence
  • determine the type of sentence by its grammatical basis (two-part - one-part) and by the nature of the main member (for one-part sentences)
  • define sentence members
  • identify complicating components: homogeneous members, isolations, introductory elements (introductory words and sentences, inserted structures), addresses, direct speech and citation
  • determine the number of parts in a complex sentence
  • determine the type of syntactic connection and the type of complex sentence

§3. The order of parsing syntactic units

Collocation

1. Determine the main and dependent words, highlight the main thing, and from it raise a question to the dependent one.
2. Determine the type of phrase based on the main word: noun, verb, adverb.
3. Determine the type of syntactic connection: coordination, control, adjacency.

Simple sentence

1. Perform an analysis of the members of the sentence: underline all the members of the sentence, determine by what (word, what part of speech) they are expressed.
2. Give a description of the purpose of the statement:

  • narrative
  • interrogative
  • incentive

3. Describe the emotions and intonation expressed:

  • non-exclamatory
  • exclamation point

4. Determine the number of grammatical bases and determine the type of sentence by their number:

  • simple
  • complex

5. Describe the presence of main members:

    • two-part
    • one-piece

a) one-part with the main member subject: nominative
b) one-part with the main member predicate: definite-personal, indefinite-personal, generalized-personal, impersonal

6. Describe the presence of minor members:

  • common
  • not widespread

7. Characterize it in terms of completeness (the presence of sentence members necessary in meaning):

  • complete
  • incomplete

8. Determine the presence of complicating components:

    • uncomplicated
    • complicated:

a) homogeneous members of the sentence
b) separate members: definition (agreed - uncoordinated), addition, circumstance
c) introductory words, introductory sentences and inserted structures
d) appeal
e) constructions with direct speech or quotation

Note:

When expressing distinctions using participial and adverbial phrases, as well as comparative constructions, characterize how exactly the separation is expressed

Difficult sentence

1. As in a simple sentence, identify the members of the sentence.
2. As in a simple sentence, characterize the purpose of the statement:

  • narrative
  • interrogative
  • incentive

3. As in a simple sentence, describe the emotions and intonation expressed:

  • non-exclamatory
  • exclamation point

4. Based on the number of grammatical stems (more than one), determine that the sentence is complex.
5. Determine the type of syntactic connection between the parts of a complex sentence:

  • with union connection
  • with non-union connection
  • with a combination of union and non-union connections

6. Determine the type of complex sentence and means of communication:

  • compound (: connective, disjunctive, adversative, connecting, explanatory or gradational)
  • complex (: temporary, causal, conditional, target, consequence, concessive, comparative and explanatory, as well as allied words)
  • non-union (connection in meaning, expressed intonation)

7. Determine the type of complex sentence (for example: a complex sentence with an explanatory clause).
8. Next, each part of a complex sentence is characterized (according to the scheme of a simple sentence - see the scheme for parsing a simple sentence, paragraphs 5-8)
9. Create a diagram of a complex sentence that reflects

Analysis of a sentence by composition is called syntactic. It is one of the first to be studied in school. At first, the process can be difficult, however, after two analyzes many people quickly find all the components. Knowledge of parts of speech, rules about the basis and secondary members of a sentence, and an understanding of the connection of words in a phrase will help in analysis. This is completed by the end of primary school, so 5th grade students complete the analysis without difficulty.

By adhering to a certain sequence, you can quickly make an analysis. To do this, you will need to pay attention to the following steps:

  1. Determine what type of phrase it is: narrative, interrogative or incentive.
  2. Exclamatory and non-exclamatory sentences are distinguished by their emotional color.
  3. Then they move on to the grammatical basis. You need to find it, indicate the method of expression, indicate whether the sentence is simple or complex.
  4. Determine the one-part and two-part nature of what is written.
  5. Find additional members of the sentence. They will show whether it is common or not.
  6. Using certain types of lines, highlight each minor member of the sentence. At the same time, above the word it is indicated which member of the sentence it is.
  7. Indicate whether there are missing members of the sentence in the proposed phrase, which will allow you to determine whether the statement is complete or incomplete.
  8. Are there any complications?
  9. Describe what you wrote.
  10. Make a diagram.

In order to correctly and quickly parse, you need to know what the base and minor members are.

The basis

Every stem has a subject and a predicate. When parsing, the first word is underlined with one line, the second - with two. For example, " Night has come" Here the grammatical basis is the complete phrase. The subject word is “night”. The subject cannot be in any case other than the nominative.

Next door is the predicate “came”, which describes the action performed with the subject. (Dawn has come. Autumn has come.) Depending on whether the sentence is simple or complex, one or two bases are distinguished. The statement “Yellow leaves are falling from the trees” has the same grammatical basis. And here are two basics: “The moon hid - morning came.”

Before parsing phrases, you need to find additional members of the sentence:

  1. Most often the object is a noun or pronoun. Prepositions can be added to the second member of the sentence. It answers all case questions. This does not include the nominative case, since only the subject can have it. Look (where?) at the sky. Let's discuss (what?) the question. In semantic meaning, they are on the same level as a noun.
  2. The definition performs a descriptive function, answering the question “Which one?” Whose?". It is often difficult to identify a member of a sentence due to the fact that it comes in two types. Concordant, when two words are in the same person, gender, number and case. Inconsistent acts as a phrase with control and adjacency. For example: “There is a bookshelf hanging on the wall. There is a shelf for books hanging on the wall.". In both cases, you can ask the question: which one? However, the difference is the consistency and inconsistency of the definition.
  3. The circumstance describes the manner of action, the time. It is considered the most extensive member of the sentence. We met (where?) in a store. (When?) Yesterday we went to the cinema. I (how?) can do the exercise easily. This leads to the fact that adverbial is often confused with an addition. Here it is important to correctly pose the question from the main word to the dependent one.

Relationships when writing

It is important to say that all minor members are necessarily associated with one of the main words. The definition is part of the subject, so questions are asked specifically from this member of the sentence. But the addition and circumstance are connected with the predicate.

During parsing, the letter should indicate the minor members. If the subject and predicate are underlined with one and two lines, respectively, then the complement is highlighted with a dotted line, the definition with a wavy line, and the circumstance with a dot and a dash. When parsing, it is imperative to indicate in a graphical form what each word is.

Practical lesson

Consider a simple sentence:

In winter, tourists go to the ski resort.

Start with the basics. Here it is represented by the phrase “tourists are leaving.” That is, the subject is tourists, the predicate is going. This is the only basis, which means that what is written is a simple statement. Since there are additional members, it is common.

Now you can start looking for add-ons. It was not used here when writing. It is followed by the definition: to (what?) ski resort. And you can highlight the circumstances. They go (where?) to the resort, they go (when?) in winter.

This is what the sentence looks like when parsed by composition: In winter (obv.) tourists (mean) go (fable) to a ski (def.) resort (add.).

Example of a complex sentence:

The sun set behind a cloud, and light rain began to fall from the sky.

First we look for the basis. The sentence talks about sun and rain. This means that there are two bases in the sentence: the sun went down and it started to rain. Now we need to find additional members of the sentence in each base. It has gone (where?) behind the cloud; went (what?) little one, went (from where?) from the sky.

This is how you need to break down common sentences by composition:

The boy sat on the roof of the house and looked at the starry sky, attracting his gaze.

(Declarative, non-exclamatory, simple, two-part, common, complete, complicated by homogeneous predicates and a separate definition, expressed by a participial phrase).

Here the basis is that the boy sat and watched, so there are two predicates. Finding the minor members of the sentence. I was sitting (where?) on the roof of (what?) the house. I looked (where?) at the sky, (what?) starry. The sky (what?), attracting the eye.

That is, after finding all the components of the statement, it will look like this:

The boy (mean) sat (fable) on the roof (obv.) of the house (add.) and looked (fairy) at the starry (def.) sky (obv.), attracting the eye (def.).

Parsing a sentence is not difficult. The main thing is to follow the steps, starting with finding the main members of the sentence. They are the basis. Then they move on to the minor ones. At the end of the analysis, each of them is underlined with a certain line.

Rules for parsing sentences

  1. Determine the type of sentence based on the purpose of the statement:
  2. Determine the type of sentence by intonation: exclamatory or non-exclamatory.

    For example, the following sentence, although motivating, is not exclamatory.
