Question

If there is conjunction in a sentence, where do I put it in a diagram?

Donagan

Top Answerer

Conjunctions typically connect one clause to another. Each clause occupies its own horizontal line in a diagram. Place a connecting conjunction on a vertical or diagonal (sometimes dotted) line drawn between the two clause lines.

What type of sentence is "She studied her horoscope, hoping to discover good news"?

It's a simple, declarative sentence. Everything after the comma is a verbal phrase modifying "studied."

Question

What's the easiest way to analyze Latin sentences?

Community Answer

Start off with highlighting the nominative case words, then move on to vocative, accusative, genetive, and dative. Then if you wanted to you could start to look at imperatives and words in the imperfect, perfect, or future tense.
