Diagramming sentences

This lesson explores gerunds and gerund phrases, focusing on their function as predicate nominatives in sentences. We'll diagram sentences to illustrate the use of gerunds as subjects, direct objects, and more. For example, in the sentence "My least favorite chore has always been washing windows," we identify and diagram the components to understand their structure. Practice by copying and diagramming the following sentences: "The first step of any job is finding the right tools," "The tired workers stopped doing their best," and "Elena’s hobby was repairing dolls."
