Sentence analysis

Hi,

I have a few questions concerning a sentence I'm supposed to give a full syntactic analysis of?

The sentence:

"He bought a box of colors and copied a magazine lithograph of a Japanese painting of Fujiyama"



Is this a compound sentence, and if not, what kind of sentence is it?

How should it be analysed at clause and phrase level?



Thanks!

Alexander

May I try? (l) a siimple sentence. (2) it has a compound predicate. (3) the two predicates are connected by the coordinating conjunction "and"(4) predicate No. 1 = bought a box of colors. "box" is modified by "a" (an adjective); "a box" is modified by "of colors." "of" is preposition. "colors" is object of preposition.PS.: some university books call "a" a determiner. I'm using traditional names.

Compound sentence consisting of two independent clauses.



He bought a box of paints main clause

and

(he) copied a magazine lithograph of a Japanese painting of Fujiyama. main clause



Would you like to try first to do more analysis? I'm not sure of how or at what level you want to do the analys
