Rusty, sorry, I still don't really get 4 D. I can see the Car = vehicle, and I can see the R, river. I know You can be that, but 'that is'? And the 'crossing' seems superfluous, the R, river comes before the Yon. I'll keep pondering. ..

I think it works, just.
Vehicle (CAR) that (YON) ‘is crossing’ river (R)

Hello, Malone!
It seems reasonably OK to me.
The word for "that" is crossing over "R" for river, giving "car R y on".
You ponder away, I am not totally convinced of my parsing!

4d. Don't stop vehicle that is crossing river
CARRY ON

I interpret the parse as
Vehicle.....CAR
That is....YON

And all of above is crossing (going over) river (R)

So we have
CAR(R)YON

Yon is ‘that’ not ‘that is’ so I think ‘is’ is just a link word

I agree, Jono.

Yes agreed...i realised that...for some reason there's no edit button once you click submit.

Thanks, everyone. I was probably being too literal - taking 'crossing' as ;going over', whereas to me it looked as if the 'that' was 'following', coming after, river.

I think the earlier mention of 'yon - that is' confused me a little too (I am easily confused at times!)

Confusion and me go hand in hand, Malone!

Thanks, Rusty. Because I often simply ignore parsing completely, the explanations sometimes have me confuddled! Ignorance really is bliss at times.
