This document provides practice problems and answers for a syntax final exam. It includes examples of syntactic trees for phrases and sentences. It also provides constituency tests to determine the syntactic structure of sentences.

What is Tree Diagram? One of the most common ways to create a visual representation of syntactic structure is through tree diagrams. Symbols (Art=article, N = noun, NP = noun phrase) are used to label the parts of the tree to capture the hierarchical organization of those parts in the underlying structure of phrases and sentences.
