Diagraming the Four Kinds ofSentences

The simple subject and the simple predicate of the four kinds ofsentences are diagramed below. Note that the location of the simplesubject and the simple predicate in a sentence diagram is always thesame, regardless of word order in the sentence.

DECLARATIVE INTERROGATIVE

Fishers depend upon the sea. Do you live near the ocean?

IMPERATIVE EXCLAMATORY

Read this book about the sea. How majestic the oceans are!

In an interrogative sentence, the simple subject often comesbetween the two parts of a verb phrase. In an imperative sentence, theword you is understood to be the simple subject.

Diagraming Direct andIndirect Objects

The predicate of a sentence often contains an action verb and adirect object. In a sentence diagram, place the direct object to theright of the action verb. Draw a vertical line to separate the actionverb from the direct object. This vertical line, however, does not crossthe horizontal line.

The sea contains many creatures.

In some sentences, an indirect object comes between the actionverb and the direct object. In a diagram, place the indirect object on aline below and to the right of the verb. Draw a slanted line to connectthe indirect object to the verb.

Coral reefs give some animals a home.
