    It was an excellent video. I wish I watched this before I took the course last semester. I am 68 years old and returned to college after 30 years. The course I took really had me confused. This explanation basically resolve my confusion completely. Can teach an old dog... LOL. By the way I failed the course, but learned it is Ok to fail. It forced me to try to find and answers to why.

      The question says:
      The following sentence has an argument and an adjunct:
      A New York man shot three men at 12pm.
      Use though-preposing test to distinguish between the argument and the adjunct.
      please can you explain

    This might genuinely save me from a pandemic-stricken remote Fall semester while I'm participating in a study abroad program on the other side of the world. I definitely do not have access to resources (and the professor) that students on campus do and I've been confused and overwhelmed by tree structures. Probably overthinking as well! We're given extremely complex sentences to diagram out for our first two assignments and I felt so dejected when I completely missed the mark on the first. Thank you for making this much better to understand!
    (And as someone with ADHD the color coding was VERY needed and appreciated thank you!)
