This program lets you practise analysis of English sentences to the first level of analysis (function and form of the sentence constituents). The program checks your answers and reports whether your analysis is correct or incorrect.
There is relatively little feedback except for ‘correct/incorrect’, but the program does check for impossible combinations (two subjects or direct objects in one sentence, no verb etc.). It does not handle multiple solutions.
