I have a small request to the experts. I don't know if this has been done before on the site but its just a humble request and i feel that many will benefit from it; especially myself.
I've seen that in some of the grammar books, for e.g. in the Wren & Martin Grammar book there is a section which is dedicated to Sentence analysis and Structure. It has all possible sentence structure. Maybe not all but most common ones' at the least. They will identify all possible grammatical terms related to a sentence.
There will be a sentence, from which they will identify the following
1. Type of sentence - Assertive, interrogative, exclamatory etc.
2. Simple sentence, compound, complex?
3. Noun phrases - Adjective - Descriptive, Distributive....etc.
4. Verb phrases - Adverbs - Adverb of time, place....etc.
Basically they will go into detail. No explanation. But just merely identifying assuming that the learner already knows the meaning of the terms. After learning Grammar many people find it difficult to put into practice. I feel that after learning the terms of grammar, if a person were to read a couple of hundred sentences with this sort of analysis, grammar will become more fun, practical and clear.
So, a humble request to the experts. If you can identify all possible grammatical terms of about 50 sentences from maybe a Classical novel like "The Great Gatsby" or any other book with a variety of sentence structures many people will benefit from it.
Even if it be 5 sentences a day, It will be great.
I'm so excited. Hopefully i'll be heard.
Thanks in Advance.
