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.

god bless you 

our capacity remains undiminished

their memories are short

they are serious

these things are true

the capital was abandoned

they are many

god bless the united stated of

the enemy was advancing

all this we can do

all this we will do

Thanks in advance.


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 
NP- VP-------

our capacity remains undiminished
NP---------- VP------------------

their memories are short
NP------------ VP-------

they are serious
NP-- VP---------

these things are true
NP---------- VP------    

the capital was abandoned
NP--------- VP-----------    

they are many
NP-- VP------    

god bless the united stated of america
NP- VP--------------------------------    

the enemy was advancing
NP------- VP-----------

all this we can do
VP------ NP VP----

all this we will do
VP------ NP VP-----

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.
