Please place your bids. Purpose Syntax and grammar go hand-in-hand with each other. Understanding the syntax of English can help us become better writers and better teachers. When we are working with syntactic trees, there is a visual representation of English grammar at work. Visit the International Dialects of English Archive. (http://www.dialectsarchive.com/) From your Simple and Compound Sentences Exercises, choose six sentences: three simple sentences and three compound sentences. Draw syntactic trees for the 6 sentences that you have chosen. You may handwrite or type this assignment. If you handwrite your assignment, you will need to scan and upload your assignment as a PDF. Remember, this is your time to shine! Show off what you have learned about syntax by drawing some trees. It is in your best interest not to choose sentences that have many dependent and independent clauses. But if you choose to tackle more difficult sentences, you will be graded more leniently than if you chose a sentence with only three words. Resources Fromkin Chapter 3
