Diagraming ---Adjectives, Adverbs, Conjunctions and Compound Subjects and Verbs
An adjective is placed on a slanted line directly below the noun or pronoun it modifies/describes. An adverb is placed on a slanted line directly below the verb, adverb, or adjective it modifies/describes. conjunctions are placed on dotted lines drawn between words they connect. Compound nouns or compound verbs must split the main horizontal line. Each part of a compound subject is diagrammed on a separate horizontal line. The conjunction that connects the subjects is placed on a dotted vertical line. (examples done in class).
Diagram the following sentences.
1. The red bus stopped suddenly.
2. A tall and excited stranger appeared.
3. Our new doctor listened very carefully.
4. The large but swift ship glided effortlessly and gracefully.
5. Coffee and cake were provided.
6. Students, parents, and teachers applauded happily.
7. Shelia calls occasionally and texts daily.
8.The new school band assembled, waited, and finally marched.
