In an attempt to account for every sentence which could possibly appear in a language, Noam Chomsky developed PSRs, otherwise known as blank, blank, blank such as S NP + VP. (Use one word per box.)
yes some of you might consider this cheating but I honestly
cannot find this in any of my work and even if you just
gave me a website to learn how to do it or anything i would
be appreciative!

This site at least mentions them: http://www.nybooks.com/articles/10142
Maybe this will also help. (I've actually taught those patterns, or some of them.)
1. N + IV The dog barked.
2. N + LV + adj Sam is brilliant.
3. N + LV + N Sam is a genius.
4. N1 + TV + N2 The dog bit Sam.
Does this help, or is it too simple?

You're going to need to go to a library - preferably one at your local college or university - to find anything good about this linguistic theory. All of the articles that help explain it are in scholarly journals - available only directly at a library or online only if you are a student at that school.
You might have some luck on free web sites with this search phrase:

The answer is PSR. Which stands for Phrase Structure Rule.
Tricky wording.
