Thank you. I've fallen behind in my grammar class, but this is helping me understand things!

@mrthoth Thanks so much! I was losing my mind thinking that "which" was functioning purely as the object of "by," and I couldn't figure out where my "he is known" baseline connected.

Thank You!!!

Is there a way to know absolutely where to attach a prepositional phrase when diagramming?? This helped but I was thinking that for five years could possibly be attached to Sandor?? Should the sentence be diagrammed in the order it is written?? HELP

..as in learning what all the pieces are lol.

It is not in "learning diagramming" as such, but in diagramming learning. It's really helping me piece sentences together.

These vids are great and help me a lot with my school work but i think learning to diagram sentences is so stupid and unnecessary. I don't understand why my SAT prep. teacher would even teach this.
How does one diagram a sentence that has been altered to avoid stranding a preposition?
For example: The name by which he is known is Sandor.
Where would one put "he is known"?
Thanks for all of your videos. Welcome back!

@scubes10 You diagram "by which he is known" as a relative clause ("which" is the relative pronoun). So you draw a baseline under "name," put "he is known" on the baseline, with the adverbial prepositional phrase "by which" descending from "known." Then you draw a dotted line from "which" to "name". I'll have to do a video on that !
