Question
My son is diagramming a sentence for extra credit and we disagree on the correct way to do it.  The sentence is:  "I have neither given nor received any unauthorized aid on this test."

Thank you!


Answer
First, my sincere apologies for responding so late you probably don't need the answer any more.  I usually get an e-mail when questions come in.  For some reason, I was not notified of this one.

Second...sentence diagramming is not my strong suit!  And it is almost impossible to do in here without a drawing capability...but I'll give it a shot.


                ___given_____
                 /n            \
_I__|__have____  o             ___aid_________________
    \            \r__received__/  \      \             \
     \neither                    \any   \unauthorized \on__test__
    \
     \this

I can't get the formatting to hold and I am not sure of the placement of the preposition.  Neither, any, unauthorized and on should be on the diagonal.

Sorry...I should put a diagramming disclaimer on my bio!
