[pixelguru]

Thank you for the awesome course! It's been a life-saver when editing for my classes. However, I have a question about the last example. Since the verb "give" is transitive in this sentence, shouldn't the tree break "give me a raise" into a verb phrase and a single noun phrase, where the first verb phrase consists of a verb ("give") and a noun phrase (me), and the noun phrase just consists of the determiner ("a") and the noun "raise?"

[sadafkhan]

Super helpful u r a life saver plz keep making informative videos like this

[luhindiramahadewi]

Thank you, you're video really easy to understand

[sotcat]

In “give me a raise” shouldn’t one complement be more closely connected to the verb? One of them can be passivized to subject position. How could we present that info in the tree diagram?

Hello!
You are really helpful! Please, may you do a special video full of sentences of syntax with solutions and tricks that we may face... That would be really helpful, and thank you so much for you efforts.

[ainamoony]

hello sir, for sentences that have possessive proper nouns such as "I was fixing the hole on Richard's roof", would the word "Richard's" consider to be a Noun Phrase or a Adjective Phrase??? Thank you for the info in advance :)

[taoyunzhi]

Thanks for the video!! Syntax has always been the most confusing part for me. This whole introductory course makes it easier to understand. And btw is there any difference between a triangle and the normal way of drawing a tree structure?
