It misinterpreted "like" as 'in the manner of; akin to' ("I heard you as though [I were hearing] phrase structure"?), so I tried

> I heard you enjoy phrase structure, so I put a phrase in your phrase so you can parse a phrase while you parse a phrase.

That got parsed correctly.

Edit: well, it says "enjoy" is a base form rather than 3rd person singular, which is wrong in this context; it's an inflected form, like "I heard she enjoys phrase structure".
