Syntax of Declarative Sentences
Example of a Declarative Sentence
This web site has a formal description of an English Grammar that I have used for many years for my computational linguistics work. The problem with formal descriptions is that they are very terse, and it takes a lot of study to understand how the constituents interact with each other.
I have developed an Interactive Syntax Worksheet that displays the interaction of the grammatical components, and gives the user an intuitive feeling for the process involved in constructing English sentences. I hope that this is useful to students learning English as a second language, and to native speakers interested in English syntax. The program is written in JavaScript and it operates entirely within the web browser, so there is nothing to download. The only requirement is that the browser should be running with JavaScript enabled.
