Syntactic analysis of the offer is the cornerstone of practical work on the text. This type of analysis causes the mass of difficulties in school students from year to year. And meanwhile, a considerable part of tasks in the USE and a SFE is anyway connected with syntactic analysis.

Instruction

1. Write out the offer which needs to be sorted from the text. For example, "The figure skater finished a demonstration performance, and the audience amicably applauded".

2. Find the principal parts of the sentence: subject of action (subject) and action (predicate). Remember that if the subject is expressed to nouns, then this noun can stand only in the Nominative case.

3. In this offer subjects are nouns "figure skater" and "audience". Emphasize them with one line and sign above over words what function in the offer they perform (subject).

4. Further ask a question from a subject "the figure skater what made?" - finished, "the audience what was made?" - applauded. "Finished" and "applauded" - it is predicates. Emphasize them with two lines and sign them.

5. Now ask a question from a predicate to other sentence parts. "Finished what?" - a performance. The sentence part answering questions of oblique cases – addition. In this case the noun "performance" acts as addition. Emphasize it with a dashed line and write its syntactic function over a word.

6. From addition ask the question "performance what?" - indicative. This adjective acts as definition here. Emphasize the word "indicative" with the wavy line.

7. The same way sort the second simple sentence which is a part of difficult. Ask a question from a predicate "applauded as?" - it is amicable. The sentence parts answering the question "how?", "when?", "how?", "for what reason?", etc. are circumstances. The adverb "amicably" in this case is a circumstance. Emphasize it with a dashed line, alternating a dash to a point.

8. Now start characteristic of the offer on the statement purpose. Be guided on a punctuation mark. If the offer comes to an end with a point, then it as in this case, will be narrative.

9. Further find out whether the sentence is exclamatory or not exclamatory. Lean on a punctuation mark and intonation.

10. Look at analysis and count quantity of grammatical bases. If a basis one – a simple sentence, if two and more – difficult.

11. In case of existence of several bases define the nature of communication between them. Whether they are connected among themselves on sense (compound) or one depends on another (complex).
