  1. The key opens the door to the room.

    Is “the” a constituent if it can be substituted with “this” or “that”?

  2. Thank you for this super helpful lesson! Can you please help me apply pseudo clefting on this sentence:
    The student said he would pass the exam on Monday.
    Apparently, this sentence has 2 interpretations.. and we should be able to do 2 pseudo clefting tests to show the two interpretations have a different constituent structure..
    I did the first one but I can’t do the second one: what the student said he would pass was the exam on Monday. Can you please help with the second interpretation!
