REM.--In the analysis of a Complex Sentence (see Овs., p. 42) an Auxili ary Sentence is found to perform an individual office, and accordingly, it is parsed as one Etymological Element of the Principal Sentence. After it has been thus parsed, it should itself be analyzed, and the Words and Phrases of which it is composed, be parsed according to their respective offices. The same remark is applicable to Phrases. (See Exercise 7, above, and 2, below.)
