S -> NP VP, do these sentences follow this format?
Am parsing some sentences (from the inaugural speech in the nltk corpus) with the format S -> NP VP, and I want to make sure I parsed them correctly, do these sentences 开发者_开发问答follow the aforementioned format, sorry if this question seems trivial, English is not my first language. If anyone has any questions on a given sentence follows NP VP, ask me and I will give you my reasons on why I picked it and give you it's parsing tree.

The first 9 are NP VP. In the last two, "all this" is the direct object, which is part of the VP.
god bless you

Note that the last two sentences are semantically equivalent to the sentences "We can do all this" and "We will do all this", an order which makes the subject predicate/verb predicate breakdown easier.
