I have a large and detailed derivation of Pat must not have been sending flowers to Chris that might be worth looking at. You can get it at the link below.

Pat must not have been sending flowers to Chris.

This is a big sentence that I went through step-by-step, and it includes a few things that were really only mentioned very briefly in class so far, although we’ll get to all of them.

One thing this tree provides are examples of Perf, Prog, and Neg, which haven’t been on any of the handouts, although you would have been able to deduce how they would work from what we did have (given the Hierarchy of Projections we have, and the discussion of how the pronunciation of the forms depends on the one before it).

In any event, this tree does stretch you a bit beyond what you will have explicitly seen in class, although some of it would have been in the book. And there are things in there that we will talk about more after the midterm, like more on how the pronunciations are determined, and about the [uN] feature on T that brings the subject up to the specifier of TP.

Nevertheless, I think it might be useful and informative to look it over. And it might be most useful and informative if you’ve looked at it before Tuesday’s class, in case you want to ask questions about it. I might walk through it on Tuesday if we’re not occupied with other questions, but you’re certainly free to use it as something to study with and something to ask about.
