Diagramming sentences provides a way of picturing the structure of a sentence. By placing the various parts of a sentence in relation to the basic subject-verb relationship, we can see how the parts fit together and how the meaning of a sentence branches out, just as the branches of a plant ramify from the stem in space and time. Most students who work at diagramming sentences derive a clearer understanding of how sentences work — as well as satisfaction in the pictorial rendering of sentence structure | Diagramming sentences provides a way of picturing the structure of a sentence.

This presentation touches upon only the basics of diagramming. Use the hyperlinks back to the Guide to Grammar and Writing (this color) for additional information. We begin, naturally, with the representation of a very simple sentence: Glaciers melt. We will place the subject-verb relationship on a straight horizontal line . . . Glaciers melt and separate the subject from its verb with a short vertical line extending through the horizontal line.

The glacier is melting slowly. glacier is melting The slowly A direct object follows the verb on the horizontal line; it is separated from the verb by a vertical line that does not go through the horizontal line. The glacier is slowly destroying the forest. glacier is destroying The slowly forest the Predicate nouns and predicate adjectives follow the verb and are separated from the verb by a slanted line.
