    This, along with part I, was an awesome run-through. I wanted to show my high-school-aged daughter how to diagram sentences, but it's been too many years for me to do it reliably. I enjoyed it -- especially the humor with which it was delivered -- and my daughter followed along with all of the examples, thoroughly engrossed.

    Please come back!! I loved all three videos you've done so far! I'm having difficulty diagramming sentences that have infinitives. Could you show us how to diagram those when they're the subject, direct object, predicate nominative, appositive, and object of the preposition? It's especially tricky when there's a subject of the infinitive.

    • @GrammarTable
      @GrammarTable 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi! I would have to think about this one. My best guess is that you'd diagram "Although it is small, the kitchen is well designed" and place the two implied words ("it" and "is") in parentheses in their spots on the diagram. There may be another diagramming convention for this that I don't know about, though.

    Diagramming is awesome! It requires students know (1) parts of speech and (2) parts of a sentence. It's a visual display of the way all these elements work together. John E. Warriner's "English Grammar and Composition" was the textbook I used teaching students for many years. Entire sections of this book were devoted to diagramming. I still have my copy of it from so many years ago. A classic.

      I cannot remember my personal diagramming history well enough to do this. 😄 A skilled writer-artist can get away with an extremely long sentence. Most people who write extremely long sentences are just giving the reader brain pain, however. No maximum number of words for me. I feel these things out more instinctively than that.

    I was taught that the predicate was everything but the subject, but I see in one of your videos that it is another word for the verb. That seems easier to understand. I am struggling to distinguish between a complement and an enlargement. Do you have a video on that? Thank you.

    • @GrammarTable
      @GrammarTable 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Generally I *would* consider the predicate to be everything but the subject. The predicate includes the verb and more. Where did you encounter the term "enlargement"? It seems vaguely familiar, but it is not something that is part of my usual grammar life.

    My grandfather was an English teacher. Cousin then became on. Told him prefer US language to kill the language barrier. Yet, did enjoy diagramming sentences it NEEDED PICTURES as far as i was concerned. A felt board some art with it to bring it to life. Learning to animate or claymation art and design while learning how to diagram a sentence for writing purposes really helped me. Other kids do need this training as their grammar skills are lacking. It helps to have images art 🎨 involved at least it did me. Cutting up old books. Doing a junk grammar journal which is funny and fun My Mad Libs I called it. Had fun playing school at home less so at actual school 🏫. Would take all the lessons teach them to my stuffed fur friends and we had fun. Naturally they were better company the real critter friends than say this species other kids. Had the best time writing on drywall tape my dad had piecing sentences together and stories. Was so much fun. Then seeing older kids of my ex the poor education they received was heartbreaking. Didn't think could successfully homeschool them as I'm aware social skills is also part of development. On my end this species is the one i dislike being around the most. Still love people rather watch my rabbits eat in a garden of our own. Now, reading this comment you can correct my grammar mistakes. Lol
