Diagram these sentences. Be sure to find all helping verbs, and be careful
that each modifier is attached to the word it modifies.
1.Suddenly the booming thunder echoed hollowly.
2.The big bad wolf huffed importantly.
Diagram these sentences. Be sure to find all helping verbs, and be careful
that each modifier is attached to the word it modifies.
3. That child might be crying inconsolably now.
4. Gaspingly, they were laughing!
Diagram these sentences. Be sure to find all helping verbs, and be careful
that each modifier is attached to the word it modifies.
5. Away flew the silly geese.
(Careful! What IS the verb? What or who DID the verb?)
6. My sister may happily play here.
And Now: Diagramming Prepositional Phrases
Review: what is a prepositional phrase? What part(s) of speech are associated
with a prepositional phrase?
Identify the prepositional phrase(s) in this sentence:
The squirrel ran up the tree, down the tree, behind the
tree, through the tree, under the tree, around the
tree and into the tree.
Notice:
The squirrel ran up the tree, down the tree, behind the tree,
through the tree, under the tree, around the tree and into the
tree.
All the underlined words connect a noun, “tree,” with the rest of the sentence, in this
case through the verb “ran.” Notice that each propositional phrase (“phrase” means
the preposition, its object (the noun it connects) and any modifiers of the object))
answers the questions “where” or possibly “how.”
These are our old friends, the ADVERB QUESTIONS, and since the phrase answers
where and how the verb was carried out, we know these phrases are acting as
ADVERBS modifying the verb.
How to diagram a prepositional phrase:
tree
Notice that the preposition goes on a slanting line just below the word the phrase
modified, the object goes on a horizontal line connected to the preposition line,
and any modifier of the noun object goes under it. In these phrases the word “the”
is an adjective telling “which tree.” Even though our word order goes: preposition,
adjective, noun object, we diagram it: preposition, noun object, adjective, because
we are showing the importance of words.
The squirrel ran up the tree.
squirrel
ran
tree
The squirrel ran up the tree, down the tree, behind the tree,
through the tree, under the tree, around the tree and into the
tree.
squirrel
ran
tree
tree
tree
tree
Let’s diagram these prepositional phrases used as ADVERBS:
1. The boy went to the store.
2. In the portable was my class.
Let’s diagram these prepositional phrases used as ADJECTIVES:
1. The boy with the red hat was singing.
2. A basket of food appeared.
A final example to study:
The horse with the star on its forehead
galloped through the pasture with angry
snortings at its pursuers.
The horse with the star on its forehead
galloped through the pasture with angry
snortings at its pursuers.
horse
galloped
snortings
star
pastures
pursuers
forehead
Study the placement of all phrases. Notice “on its forehead” modifies the noun “star.” (“On its
forehead” does NOT describe this horse!) Nor did it “gallop” “at its pursuers.” that tells about
its “snortings.” Any noun, not just the sujbect noun, may be modified by a prepositional
phrase.
Short Stories
If you were absent today, pick one
of these stories, find it online, and
read it before returning to class.
The narrator of “The Scarlet Ibis” is a kid who is never
named. We only know that he lives in the country, near
a swamp and the ocean, and that he's six when his
little brother is born. The kid brother, William
Armstrong, is born with some disabilities, which our
narrator will help to sort out.
The characters in “The Interlopers,” Ulrich von
Gradwitz and Georg Znaeym, have been enemies since
birth. Their grandfathers feuded over a piece of
forestland. While the courts ruled in the Gradwitz
family's favor, the Znaeym family has never accepted
this ruling.
“The Fan Club” is an excellent example of high school
students’ behavior and the changes of that behavior
due to different situations and encounters with bullying
and peer pressure. Laura (the protagonist) believes she
is being made fun of by Diane Goddard (the antagonist)
and her friends. They whisper and laugh which makes
her feel uncomfortable. Are they really bullying her?
Misconceptions have a terrible impact.
“The Sniper” indirectly addresses the way in which the
Irish civil war led to the disunity of Irish society. There
are two snipers. One is on one roof while the other is
across the street on another. They are trying to get
each other with no success. One sniper gets shot by
the other. He is wounded . . . but then. . . .
