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.

You can learn more about diagramming by going to the English grammar exercise page which will take you step by step through diagramming.
