Lesson 1 | The First Pass: Divide
Demonstration
At last, it’s time to zoom in on the first pass! The goal of the following video is to help you understand in detail how to do the First Pass.
Note: Instead of using the MINE column as show in the video, you will indicate the phrase type by clicking a phrase’s handle and then Add Relationship.
Before we move on, I want to emphasize one point about the First Pass from the video above: it is important to keep subjects and verbs together. In the passage above, I extracted "in him" from between the subject "whoever" and its verb "should not perish." Verbs and their direct objects must also be kept together.
Summary: Both subjects and verbs, as well as verbs and direct objects, must be kept together on the same line. Do not divide them into different lines.
At times, this will require you to extract phrases from in between subjects and verbs, or verbs and direct objects. Keep all that in mind for Assignment #1, and for the rest of the assignments in this course.
