+Explanation of the Diagram+.--The line which connects the two predicate
lines pictures three things. It is made up of three parts. The upper part shows that _when_ modifies _started_; the lower part, that it modifies _rose_; and the dotted part shows that it _connects_. +Oral Analysis+.--This is a complex sentence, because ----; _We started_ is the independent clause, and _when the sun rose_ is the dependent clause. _We_ is the subject of the independent clause, and _started_ is the predicate. The clause, _when the sun rose_, is a modifier of the predicate, because it tells when we started. _Started when the sun rose_ is the modified predicate. _Sun_ is the subject of the dependent clause, and _rose_ is the predicate, and the is a modifier of _sun_; _the sun_ is the modified subject. _When_ modifies _rose_ and _started_, and connects the clause-modifier to the predicate _started_. +Parsing+ of _when_.--_When_ is an adverb modifying the two verbs _started_ and _rose_, thus connecting the two clauses. It modifies these verbs by showing that the two actions took place at the same time. 1. The dew glitters when the sun shines. 2. Printing was unknown when Homer wrote the Iliad. 3. Where the bee sucks honey, the spider sucks poison. 4. Ah! few shall part where many meet. 5. Where the devil cannot come, he will send. 6. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 7. Fools rush in where angels fear to tread. 8. When the tale of bricks is doubled, Moses comes. 9. When I look upon the tombs of the great, every emotion of envy dies |
