How Do You Diagram Pronouns?

Sentence diagramming is a visual way to show how the words in a sentence are related to each other.

Pronouns can do many things in a sentence, and the way they are diagrammed depends on the way that they are acting in each sentence.

Here are four of the jobs that pronouns can do: subject, direct object, indirect object, and object of the preposition.

Pronouns can also act as a predicate noun. This kind of noun only comes after a linking verb.
