I'm having trouble drawing a tree diagram for the following sentence:

Chrissy believed that the earrings she bought for Sue were real silver.

In the task we have to divide the sentence into its clauses and state the types of clauses.

I choose 1 sentence and 2 clauses were Chrissy believed is already 1 clause.

  • I'm guessing that part of your problem is that she bought for Sue is a relative clause but with the relative pronoun (eg which) suppressed.

  • This question appears to be off-topic because it is about help with particular syntax trees.

    That does the job. There are other angels that could dance on a more elaborately pinheaded tree, but they're not necessary.

    @jlawler: There are always more angels that can simultaneously dance on the pinheaded tree; but only the invisible ones can, who don't make for good Christmas decorations.

    @jlawler I replaced the original but changed the graphics to make it more readable.
