three observations

Following are three observations about this sentence. Match each observation with the kind of understanding of grammar that might produce it.

 

a. traditional/prescriptive grammar

 

b. structural grammar

 

c. transformational grammar

 

1.           

The sentence exhibits the following structure:

 

N(oun) P(hrase) + be verb + Adj(ective) P(hrase)

 

2.           

This is a correct sentence. It would be wrong to write The boy is anxious to please. Anxious and eager mean two different things.

 

3.           

The sentence exhibits the following structure:

 

N(oun) P(hrase) + be verb + Adj(ective) P(hrase).

 

However, native speakers of English know that the deep structure of the sentence, as opposed to this surface structure, is radically different from a sentence that looks superficially the same:

 

The boy is easy to please.
