Diagramming Sentences: Worksheets - Free Printable

To solve this worksheet, we need to do two things for each sentence:
1. Circle the nouns (the people, places, or things). In these sentences, the nouns are the subjects doing the action.
2. Diagram the sentence. Since these sentences have two subjects, the diagram will look like a fork. The two subjects go on the separate top lines, they join together in the middle, and then the verb goes on the line after the join.

Here is the step-by-step solution for each problem:

1. Mom and Dad cook.
* Nouns: Mom, Dad
* Verb: cook
* Diagram: Draw two parallel horizontal lines at the start. Write "Mom" on the top line and "Dad" on the bottom line. Draw diagonal lines bringing them together to a single point. From that point, draw a vertical line crossing the horizontal line. Write "cook" on the right side of the vertical line.

2. Carter and Jacob run.
* Nouns: Carter, Jacob
* Verb: run
* Diagram: Draw two parallel horizontal lines. Write "Carter" on the top line and "Jacob" on the bottom line. Bring them together with diagonal lines. Draw a vertical line crossing the main horizontal line. Write "run" on the right side.

3. Dogs and cats fight.
* Nouns: Dogs, cats
* Verb: fight
* Diagram: Draw two parallel horizontal lines. Write "Dogs" on the top line and "cats" on the bottom line. Join them with diagonal lines. Draw a vertical line crossing the horizontal line. Write "fight" on the right side.

4. Dr. Leon and Mr. Smith swam.
* Nouns: Dr. Leon, Mr. Smith (Note: Titles like Dr. and Mr. are part of the subject noun phrase).
* Verb: swam
* Diagram: Draw two parallel horizontal lines. Write "Dr. Leon" on the top line and "Mr. Smith" on the bottom line. Join them with diagonal lines. Draw a vertical line crossing the horizontal line. Write "swam" on the right side.

5. Snowmen and icicles melt.
* Nouns: Snowmen, icicles
* Verb: melt
* Diagram: Draw two parallel horizontal lines. Write "Snowmen" on the top line and "icicles" on the bottom line. Join them with diagonal lines. Draw a vertical line crossing the horizontal line. Write "melt" on the right side.
