Asked by cindy

The sentences, "Lee gave the ball to Lynne" and "Lynne received the ball from Lee," have the same:
surface structure.
syntax.
surface and deep structures.
deep structure.
Does this sentence have both surface and deep structure? From reading my text book, I believe it does, but Im a little confused.
Answered by Ms. Sue
I don't know the technical term, but the first sentence has a verb in the active mode; the second one is passive.

It is A. Surface strucure.
Answered by Ms. Sue
I made a mistake. Both verbs are active.

Sorry.

Now I am a little confused...was my first option right?
Answered by PsyDAG
This sounds more like English than psychology. The first verb is active and the second is passive. However, English is not my area of expertise.
