Schools don’t teach diagramming any longer. A shame too as it’s a good tool to understand a sentence.
Other than DEI and deviant sex I’m not sure what schools teach anymore.
Grammar and diagramming back in the 7th grade. We covered all the parts of speech and their variants. Never covered it in so much depth again. It stuck.
My Mom, a College English (and Accounting) grad liked to help me with that. And sometimes it was neccessary.
Joyce, my main rival, had her Mom helping her too.
Both of us trying for 20 of 20 on the homework sentences (find the error and correct it, for example).
Can I still diagram? Subject Verb Object ... not so good, but I can figure out the sentence. Well, not the current ‘news’ stuff, as we see in the horrid ‘Headline Titles’.
And reading The Bible, with triple deep quotes is a lot of fun, too.
“Schools don’t teach diagramming any longer. A shame too as it’s a good tool to understand a sentence.”
Oh my, how I struggled with that back in the day. I don’t know if I had a bad teacher, or if I was just thick, but it never made any sense whatsoever to me.
