The Foundation
Subjects (Nouns) and Predicates (Verbs)
Grammatical explanation. Every sentence has two parts to be a complete sentence—a subject and a predicate, which is the portion of the sentence containing the verb.
Diagramming explanation. The baseline is the horizontal line indicating a clause or what we call a sentence. The vertical line divides the subject and the predicate evenly above and below the baseline.
The following are sample sentences:
Subjects (Pronouns) and Predicates (Verbs)
Grammatical explanation. Every sentence has two parts to be complete—a subject and a predicate, the portion of the sentence containing the verb.
Diagramming explanation. The baseline is the horizontal line indicating a clause or what we call a sentence. The vertical line divides the subject and the predicate evenly above and below the baseline.
The following are sample sentences using pronouns as subjects instead of nouns:
Adjectives and Adverbs (Modifiers or Describers)
Grammatical explanation. Subjects will be nouns or pronouns. Predicates will be verbs. However, sometimes the subjects and verbs need more description. Adjectives add description to nouns and pronouns. Adverbs add description to verbs. Adverbs add description to other parts of speech and entire sentences, but we’ll visit that concept later on. Note also that the articles a, and, and the are always adjectives. The articles limit nouns or pronouns. They are called limiting adjectives (e.g., a car, the car).
Diagramming explanation. Adjectives and adverbs modify or describe the word(s) to which they are attached. Adjectives tell us a bit more about nouns or pronouns. Adverbs tell us a bit more about verbs. Slanted lines indicate a modifying or describing function. The slant points toward the word(s) being described. When her (or other possessive pronouns) is used as a possessive adjective (as opposed to a possessive pronoun), the word is diagrammed on a slanted line under the word it is modifying because it then acts as an adjective in its usage.
The following are sample sentences:
Adverbs (Modifying or Describing Other Adjectives or Adverbs)
Grammatical explanation. Remember that we said that adverbs add description t...
