dogs barks in morning
Why does this have both constraints as the answer?
dogs bark in morning seems correct, so shouldn't it just be selectional?
Thank you very much!
Hello,

No, "in morning" is not correct. In this case, "morning" should be preceded by some form of determiner, e.g. "in the morning", "in this morning", "in that morning", ...
Thus, the sequence "in morning", which corresponds to a "Prep Noun" sequence is violating the word order of standard English.
