Sentence diagramming - what's the purpose? - Logic Stage & Middle Grade ...

For others, diagramming is not going to add to what they've already learned through other means. The end goals of all kinds of grammar programs, including diagramming, are, I think, to be able to use language correctly and thoughtfully; and to understand something about how one's language works.
Sentence parsing and diagramming - The Well-Trained Mind Community

I have been presented with the following sentence, and can not figure out how to parse and diagram it. "The grass looked like a magic carpet." - EB White At first glance, I thought the sentence would break down as follows: The (adj) grass (noun) looked (linking verb) like (?) a (adj) magic (adjec...

Yes, because diagramming helps the student see the interrelationships between the words. Two adverbs or two prepositional phrases can play very different roles in a sentence but MCT's 4-level analysis treats them as the same.

Sentence diagramming in other languages? - The Well-Trained Mind Community
12 May 2025 at 12:58am
I think it would be a maybe. Diagramming was designed specifically for English, so you might have to revise some rules for other languages and maybe even the formatting. It would probably be better to see if there was a version that was created just for the language, or you might use the methods linguists use though I don't know how hard that is to learn. You could also just parse the ...
Diagramming Sentences...Can you tell me the Pros and cons please...
11 May 2025 at 8:37am
Grammar is very cerebral and very visual. Diagramming is a way to give it more spacial, hands-on properties. Sometimes we diagram sentences in other languages to see their sentence structure. If a child diagrams a sentence correctly, you can tell that he understands its structure--just another way of testing him. Need more?

Hello! I have a practical question. Many of us here have been teaching our kids how to diagram sentences (myself included). I didn't learn to diagram sentences in school, so I'm wondering how your kids use their diagramming skills (other than to do their grammar assignment)? (I'm considering leav...
Why all the diagramming? - The Well-Trained Mind Community
3 May 2025 at 12:12am
I think it really helps to keep diagramming -- expecially when you get to more difficult sentence structures. As they are doing Hake 6 this year, my dds are really starting to understand how diagramming helps them see how the parts of a complex sentence work/fit together. I think the visual diagram helps to reinforce the concepts. On the other hand, parsing is probably good reinforcement, too ...
Diagramming Latin? - The Well-Trained Mind Community
25 Apr 2025 at 9:25am
It's why I like diagramming - you can't fool yourself into thinking you understand it while you are actually iffy on parts, because the parts of the sentence you can't put on the diagram are generally the parts you are iffy on, and the diagramming brings it to light. ETA: Resource-wise, The New First Steps in Latin has an appendix on diagramming.
Is Fix it Grammar really enough? - The Well-Trained Mind Community
11 May 2025 at 9:23pm
As far as the value of diagramming, I still see it. We really only took that one year (Fix-It) where we didn't do diagramming so I don't have a long view on non-diagramming based grammar.
