SENTENCE DIAGRAMMING English 1 Sentence Diagramming • Reed-Kellogg Method • Based on word relationships • Uses the logic of the sentence instead of the physical order of the words Basics First, we establish the base subject/verb relationship in the sentence. All diagrams start with this. Example: It rained. It rained subject predicate Basics The verb phrase contains the complete tense of the verb. It is raining. It ‘s is raining Contractions will also appear in the diagram. For example: It’s raining. Direct Objects As part of the predicate, separate this from the verb phrase using a vertical line that ascends from the base line. Direct Object Alice crafts dolls. Alice crafts dolls Noun Predicates and Adjectives Instead of a vertical line, a left-slanting diagonal ascending line is used. Suika is drunk. Suika is drunk Marisa is a witch. Marisa is witch . Note that this is only applied to adjectives that are used to complement the predicate’s verb phrase. Adjectives, Adverbs and other Modifiers Earlier we had this example: Marisa is a witch. Marisa is witch Note the descending diagonal line with “a.” We use these to show which words modify which in the sentence. Adverbs, adjectives, determiners (the) are attached to the words they modify. Adjectives, Adverbs and other Modifiers Suika is very drunk. Suika is drunk “very” in this case is an adverb that modifies the adjective “drunk.” Adjectives, Adverbs and other Modifiers Alice stayed awake until midnight cramming. Alice stayed awake midnight Participles like this modify the noun. Participles are differentiated from adjectives by the Lshaped symbol. Adjectives, Adverbs and other Modifiers Marisa stealthily stole Patchy’s precious books. Marisa stole books All of the modifiers appear below the words they are modifying. Adjectives, Adverbs and other Modifiers Sakuya eventually replaced her old, outdated costume. Sakuya replaced costume Noun Predicates, Predicate Adjectives, and Direct Objects Everyone considers Cirno a complete idiot. Everyone considers Cirno idiot Patchy is practicing magic at the library. Prepositions Patchy is practicing magic library Prepositions are shown by adding a descending diagonal line with the preposition written on it leading to a horizontal line that indicates the complement. Remilia and Sakuya are picking flowers at the mansion’s conservatory. Compound Subjects Remilia are picking Sakuya Compound subjects are indicated by branches connected by a dotted line. The dotted line indicates the conjunction. and flowers conservatory Remilia and Sakuya are picking flowers at the mansion’s conservatory. Compound Subjects Remilia are picking Sakuya Compound subjects are indicated by branches connected by a dotted line. The dotted line indicates the conjunction. and flowers conservatory Both coordination and subordination have the component clauses diagrammed separately. The verbs of the two diagrams are then linked by a vertical dotted line that indicates either the coordinating or subordinating conjunction. Utsuho is going rampage so Coordination and Subordination Utsuho is going on a rampage again, so Marisa must stop her immediately. Marisa must stop her Relative Clauses Youmu, who is Princess Yuyuko’s gardener, is also an accomplished swordfighter. Relative clauses modify words in a sentence by adding additional information. They usually start with “who,” “whom,” “where,” etc. A relative clause is diagrammed like this. Since it is a clause, it also has an SV relationship and is diagrammed with the base cross. Youmu is swordfighter The dotted line attaches the relative pronoun “who” to its antecedent Youmu. who is gardener Note the branching modifiers. Princess modifies Yuyuko’s modifies gardener. The immortal vampire girl who lives in the dark, creepy mansion drinks her victims’ blood and enjoys it immensely. girl drinks blood Extreme Example mansion and who lives she enjoys it Overkill Example (Try it Out!) The defenders of Gensokyo, who are incrediblyskilled warriors, are fighting tirelessly to protect the realm from invaders who wish to take their beloved land, but the mysterious enemy who is coming might be too strong for them to defeat. Corrections • The original “Suika is roaring drunk” sentence has been replaced with “Suika is very drunk.” Roaring is a participle and must be diagrammed with the L-symbol. • Misplaced branches have been corrected. • Slide on Relative Clauses added. • Slide on uber diagram added.
