Folks,
   I'll suggest the following strawman as a start on a restricted English 
grammar.

                       sentence
                     /         \
                   SNP|Q         VP
                  /    \      /     \
                Det   N|PN    V   NP|SNP
                                  / | \
                                Det M N|PN

where:
   SNP = simple noun phrase
   NP = noun phrase
   Det = determiner [the|a|an|all|every]
   N = noun
   V = verb
   VP = verb phrase
   PN = proper noun
   M = modifier
   Q = query word [who|what|where]
