Diagramming Adjectives and Adverbs in Simple Sentences

The video tutorial covers sentence diagramming, focusing on adjectives and adverbs. It explains how to diagram adjectives modifying nouns and adverbs modifying verbs or other modifiers. The tutorial also addresses complex sentences with multiple modifiers and compound modifiers, providing examples and exercises for practice.

How do you diagram an adjective that modifies a noun?

• On a vertical or diagonal line underneath the noun

• On a horizontal line above the noun

• On a separate line next to the noun

• On a curved line around the noun

In the sentence 'The little baby slept', where do you place the adjectives 'little' and 'baby' in the diagram?

• On a horizontal line above 'baby'

• On a vertical line next to 'baby'

• On diagonal lines underneath 'baby'

• On a separate line below 'slept'

What is the key difference in diagramming adverbs compared to adjectives?

• Adverbs are placed based on their position in the sentence

• Adverbs are always placed above the verb

• Adverbs are placed on a horizontal line next to the verb

• Adverbs are placed based on what they modify, not their position

In the sentence 'Then lightning suddenly flashed', where do the adverbs 'then' and 'suddenly' go in the diagram?

How do you diagram a sentence with both an adjective and an adverb, like 'Loud thunder rumbled threateningly'?
