NOTE.-Many of the sentences on these pages are so simple that I have not diagrammed them. In 6, "and" is an introductory conjunction, and " painter" is an attributive object. In 9, "what" is an interrogative pronoun. In 11, "alas" is an interjection. 4. A soldier of the Legion lay 5. It sank from sight before 7. None will flatter the poor. it set. Whittier. 5. 7. It sank None will flatter in-Algiers. the it f set. before 17. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver 20. O God, we are but leaves on thy stream, us from evil. clouds in thy sky. 22. It was now the Sabbath-day, and a small congregation, of about a hundred souls, had met for divine service in a place more magnificent than any temple that human hands had ever built to Deity.-Wilson. broad Where the wide storms their banners fling, -and of-wing, sweeping the 25. home Thy is-high storms fling, in heaven. NOTE.-In 4, "lay" is a copulative verb, and "dying" is a present active participle, and as a predicate adjective belongs to "soldier." In 13, "(that) the lark ascends and sings" is the subject; or, make "it" the subject, and put "(that) the lark ascends and sings" in apposition with it. In 14, some authors consider "here" a predicate adjective. Sentence 17 may be considered compound, if pre"to be broken" is a second ferred. In 19, class attribute, and is a predicate adjective. In 20, "but" is a modal adverb, and equals "merely." In 22, the expres sion "a hundred" is a numeral adjective, "about" is an adverb, and modifies "a hundred." In 23, "is glad" may be used as the predicate of another subordinate sentence if preferred. I have given two diagrams for 24; in one, matter" " is a noun in the predicate; in the other, "(did) matter" is a verb. Some consider 24 a compound sentence. and some think the two sentences are independent of each other. In my judgment, it is a compound sentence, but it is a loose sentence, and a connective need not be supplied in such sentences. wide the And banners their Where clouds are driven. tempest Dia.-4. the (where) 66 |
