  3. importance of diagramming sentence....

    A sentence (to be a sentence) at the very least must have a Subject (noun or pronoun) and a Predicate (verb). The remaining words in a sentence serve to describe, clarify or give us more information about the subject or the verb. A diagram arranges the parts of a sentence like a picture in order to show the relationship of words and groups of words within the sentence.

    so for auxiliary verb do we have to open have a new branch for verb phrase? means auxiliary verb is under verb phrase is it?
