A brief overview of lexical categories, phrase structure rules, and syntactic tree structures.

[@SuperiorSince1994]

For real, you made it sound so easy! My professor at the Uni made me believe this is just a bunch of nonsense, and now I myself am solving what once seemed impossible! Thank you!

[@pinkypromise_]

Same! my uni teacher is an adorable grandpa but he talks so fast I cannot catch a thing!

[@iamtasin]

same here. my uni teachers don't actually know how to teach. pity :')

[@feetho1760]

funny how can some uni teachers make the simplest stuff like 1+1=2 sound like its =45464645654165

I realize i'm years late to this party but i'm glad that I found this awesome explanation of the tree at all!! Thank You so freaking much for taking the time to so this man, that's huge for people like me who are just starting out with this stuff. You made understanding this somewhat confusing stuff super easy to grasp so thank you man!!

[@gina1114]

You're not late dear. I am 60 years old. I learned and remember English class where I grew up. Which was blessed, I know. I went to an English paroquial High School. People nowadays aren't taught proper English language so the older you are the better your chances are that you were taught to speak proper English! I am of the opinion that it is sadly a dying language. This video and the man, David-Wynn Miller who is no longer with us left us with a profound description of proper syntax language which is a most profound legacy. He is not with us anymore but I feel blessed to have seen what he is about and it you watch his video, you will learn what a person with his ability can accomplish. That is if we the people get enlightened. Applied knowledge is power. Knowledge in and of itself isn't. Do you understand what I am saying? I pray that you do! Itso powerful It can actually stop a war. Be sure to watch David-Wynn Miller's video, because if we follow his truth we empower ourselves and the more who do the more powerful we become. There is strength in numbers in more ways than one. I hope you are able to get something out of thisand pray that you ca. May God bless you and yours and keep you in truth and light because the smallest amount of light can illuminate darkness! In Jesus' holy name I pray Amen, amen amen. Amen = So be it! Sincerely Gina

I never thought this was so easy. I skipped this topic when preparing for the class test but I had to learn it for the semester exams and I came across your video and it is as simple as it is. And by the way, the last example was great, couldn't stop laughing. Thank you so much. Really appreciate it and hope you keep spreading the knowledge.

I've been learning through Cali Poly Uni's online "syntactic tree diagram", it teaches you how to do this exact stuff but in the most complicated ways possible, thank you so fucking much, pardon my French but you've saved me several headaches in just two videos. Edit: With the help of your videos I passed through that test/quiz thing with flying colors, thank you again, I finally feel like I have an understanding of this stuff.
