notes
Note:
This is not a diagram in the traditional sense, although some of the elements have been retained. All main clauses have been placed on a single line with modifiers below. Participles with objects have been placed on a right-downward slanted shelf with the object identified by its usual object marker. Participles without an object are placed as normal modifiers. Infinitives are placed on stilts with their usual shelf of the two vertical lines protruding below the horizontal line.
