CHAPTER VI
THE ANALYSIS OF SIMPLE, PARTIALLY COMPOUND,
AND COMPLEX SENTENCES
1. Study the sentence as to number and kind of propositions, to determine whether it is simple, partially compound, or complex. Determine also whether it is declarative, interrogative, or imperative. Name it according to both structure and form. If it has been rendered exclamative, state that fact.
2. If the sentence is simple, separate it into its two parts, subject and predicate.
3. Analyze the subject; that is, separate it into the substantive used as base-word and the adjuncts of that substantive.
4. Analyze the predicate; that is, separate it into predicate verb, complement, and modifiers (provided the verb has these adjuncts).
5. If the complement is complex, analyze it by separating it into base-word and modifiers.
