Analyzing and beginning to diagram English sentences can be

so much fun if the children know what they're supposed to do.
It's like a puzzle. Parsing on a diagram is the easiest way for
kids to picture English grammar, and its my favorite way to
present diagrams.

When I am teaching about the different grammatical terms, I

put a diagram right at the top of the board and work from
there. I constantly name the subject, verb, and object so that
extra memorizing is not necessary for the children to
understand their placement (although it is very good to
memorize the definitions as well).
Analyzing is so much easier when there is a chart, a map for
the words. You can use PrintNPractice worksheets as blanks or
models for your own sentences.

would be so much better if they would
include the charts that show where
the subjects, verbs, and objects fit on
the diagram. I do know that every
time I've taught grammar; the
students understand the terminology
much better if I place the terms on a
chart first and then use the terms

frequently. Repetition is also part of a

successful strategy.
Diagramming sentences is easy once
you
1. Know the English parts of speech, and

2. Know where those parts fit on a chart.
Have you ever seen a chart that teaches where the subject,
the verb and the object fit? I hadn't for very many years until
I found one in a 1930s book. To make it easy, I include these
charts for you to print below.
The usual offering in text books is simply an example of a
sentence already placed on the diagram which can still leave a
beginner wondering which part of speech fits where. Use the
printables below to solve this difficulty and to introduce the
concepts as well. I have images of the diagrams below the
diagramming worksheets for the different parts of speech.
Also, I've found two wonderful English Grammar programs
that also show the parts of speech with the diagrams:
Karen Newell's Big Bad Grammar Slammer that also has
cards for a grammar game, and
Elizabeth O'Brien's English Grammar Revolution which is

Adverbs describe verbs and adjectives, so be sure the children

when they can recognize the -ly ending and a list of common
adverbs, too.
See our simple adverb worksheets here.
This sort of grammar is great for third grade and higher
because the children are beginning to be able to understand
the logic of word placement. They can now describe words and

their uses.
Again, placing adverbs on the diagram can be like hanging
ornaments or decorating a sentence. Be sure to show the
relation to the verb or the particular adjective that is being
described. This applies to adverbs, adverb phrases and adverb
clauses. Although phrases and clauses might be better studied
in fourth through sixth grade.

Diagramming Direct Quotations

When the quote is a partial sentence that is part of the host
sentence, diagram it as part of the sentence or clause.

When diagramming direct quotations of complete sentences,
simply diagram each sentence separately.

The Logic of Diagramming Sentences

Sentence diagramming shows the logical relation of
grammatical terms to each other so that an author or speaker
can check that he logically conveys his message to his reader
or listener.
The nature of speech is to communicate truth. If the listener
Page 15 of 20
8/8/16, 1:51 PM
does not understand what the speaker says, there is not a

complete communication between them. Analyzing sentences
is a tool that helps ensure that sentences are logical and
convey what's meant to be communicated.
Doctors, lawyers, engineers, and ordinary laymen who follow
the grammar rules and definitions in their writing will better
instruct or inform their readers. Order and structure are
important for logic. Grammar helps children see this order.
English, for ESL students to know, is a mathematically logical
language. An English proposition is very much like a
mathematical equation, especially when it uses linking verbs.
The equation 2 + 2 = 4 can be written in words
grammatically:
Two and two are four. (Remember subject verb
agreement when the subject is plural! :-)
Some Spanish speaking students would want to beware the
double negative in English which means a positive as with
multiplying two negative numbers.
-2 x -2 = 4 A negative times a negative will equal a
positive.
A truth, or untruth, is affirmed of the subject by the predicate,
and it describes (predicate adjective), names or defines
(predicate nominative) the subject. Seeing this shows the logic
in a proposition.
After that, learning a list of conjunctions and a list of
prepositions makes finding the clauses (conjunctions) and
phrases (prepositional) easier so that you can recognize them
by their first words. Then put them where they go on the
diagram. Conjunctions link equal elements in a sentence and
prepositions link the "position" of the noun, pre - position.
Karen Newell's Grammar Slammer teaches this super well and

tutors and homeschool.
How To Teach Diagramming?

Do you ever say, "Keep your train of thought"?
I do. And I use this image of a train with my students. Little
ones love to see the subject engine, the verb tender, and the
object caboose. Older ones are amused and quickly get the
idea. Truly, I draw a bit of a train on the board. This gives kids
help with diagramming English sentences and shows them the
logic. Most kids find this to be fun, especially when you show
how the meaning changes if you switch the word order.
All the extras? Well, I just start drawing the links for
adjectives, adverbs, conjunctions, and prepositions. It's mostly
charting and making connections, kind of like one engine
pulling more than one line of trains.
The reference charts at the top of this page have the parts of
speech answers on the charts and are super handy to keep on
your desk. Print them for your students to use as a reference
and they'll have a head start in Grammar class.
Again, if you're looking for an easy way to teach English
Grammar as a complete course for middle school or beginner
high school, see Karen Newell's Grammar Slammer.

Curriculum for Diagramming Sentences

Remember how I said above that I hadn't seen the parts of
speech on diagrams? It's true. I have, to this day, only seen
that one old book that did place the words subject-verb-object
in their proper places on the diagram, and that must have
been quite the feat since the words were hand written onto
the diagram! Imagine the children who have no idea!
Since I first wrote this in 2009, I've discovered Elizabeth
O'Brien's English Grammar Revolution. She's done a wonderful
job of teaching diagrams and has a full curriculum to make the
job easy for both you and I. If you like this way of teaching
Grammar, she'll take you through a whole curriculum clear
through high school level.
If you're looking for an easy and complete curriculum I'd like
you to check what Elizabeth O'Brien has in her English
Grammar Revolution workbooks, videos, and manuals.
