Here is my first tree for the [sentence](https://discuss.criticalfallibilism.com/t/eternity-async-tutoring/1932/533) in Eternity’s topic.

I have ‘were’ as the parent of ‘even’, and the prepositional phrase ‘after a full meal’ as the child of ‘even’.

I am fairly confident ‘were’ is the parent of ‘even’. I think ‘even’ is an adverb modifying the whole clause lead by ‘were’, and it is being used in the following highlighted sense:

I am not very confident in the placement of the prepositional phrase. Another option that seems plausible to me is that its parent is ‘ready’, and another option is that it is a child of ‘were’.

Edit: The colour code I’ve used is the same Elliot has used e.g [here](https://youtu.be/uliSJwkcPkc?si=dTQL7LrJnLr-Uo_x&t=1836). Also I made a mistake colour coding my tree and the semi-colon should be coloured red.
