Editor's Notes
- Draw a horizontal line and place the subject on the left an the verb on the right. Separate the two with a vertical line.
- Adjectives and Adverbs sit on slanted lines beneath the words they modify.
- Inverted sentences – the subject often follows the verb or appears between a helping verb and the verb.
- If there or here functions as an adverb, diagram it below the verb. If there functions as an expletive, place it on a horizontal line above the subject. Also use the position of an expletive for interjections and nouns of direct address.
- Interjections and direct address is placed above the subject.
- In this sentence, conjunctions join both adjectives and adverbs.
