Sentence Diagramming: Conjunctions worksheet with example and exercises.

To solve this task, we need to diagram each sentence by identifying the subject, verb, and any conjunctions that connect words or phrases. Here’s how we can break it down step by step:

1. Identify the Subject and Verb:
- The subject is who or what the sentence is about.
- The verb is what the subject is doing.

2. Identify Conjunctions:
- Conjunctions are words like "and," "but," "or" that connect words or phrases.

3. Diagramming:
- Place the subject and verb on a horizontal line.
- If there are conjunctions, use a dotted line to connect the words or phrases they join.

Let's apply this to each sentence:

1. The black and brown dog howled at the moon.
- Subject: dog
- Verb: howled
- Conjunction: and (connects "black" and "brown")
