I loved diagramming sentences!! It helped me learn grammar in a logical way. Kind of hard to explain but it is like creating a family tree out of the words in your sentence. You draw lines to connect the word to the right part of the sentence and then write the word on the line. Best thing to do is to check out google images after you search for "sentence diagramming". Subject/Verb/Object are the three main words and their order in English sentences. All other words are connected to one of those three words.
