what if it read: On Tuesday, the ship sank.
would the the prepositional phrase be put under the subject?

@vishram96 The diagram for "On Tuesday, the ship sank" is identical to the diagram of "The ship sank on Tuesday" (except for which letter gets capitalized, if you use capitalization in your diagrams). In both sentences, on Tuesday answers the question, "Sank when?" The logical function of the prepositional phrase is not altered, in this case, by its position.

The ship drew on. Is on a preposition here? Is the noun implied, the object of the preposition or what? thanks.

@ddsharper "On" is an adverb here (synonymous with "forward"), not a preposition.

Quick question, if the sentence was "On Tuesday, the ship sank." Would it be diagrammed the same way?
