You probably want to use an imaginary token as the root node of your
block. ->^(BLOCK sentences?). Sentences acan be empty and you cannot
rewrite it as the root node. Also, you probably want tokens for SENTENCE
and perahps SENTENCES. If BLOCK is empty then deal with it specially in
the tree grammar:
block : ^(BLOCK sentences)
| BLOCK // Empty block
