  1. Participles and Patty By Liz Dean and Anna Christian

  2. Patty walked home with her head down; today was not a good day. They were learning how to diagram and she was not good at it, at all!

  3. Her mommy told her to keep trying, she would soon understand it! Patty didn’t believe her. How could she learn to diagram? It’s so hard!

  4. The next day of school Patty’s teacher introduced diagramming participles. The word alone scared Patty to death! The teacher said a participle was a verb that can act as an adjective; it describes the nouns, instead of showing its action.

  5. Patty was still a little wary. She asked for an example. Her teacher gave her one; “The crying baby was quieted by her mother.” Patty now began to understand what a participle was. It really isn’t that scary after all, Patty thought.

  6. And then came the diagramming. Patty began to worry again. Her teacher explained that the participle is placed partially on a diagonal line and Partially on a horizontal line, underneath the noun or pronoun it describes.

  7. Patty was called up to diagram at the board. She was very nervous, but she believed that she understood it. She was given the sentence, “The Pueblo Native Americans lived simple lives.”

  8. Patty struggled at first but then she began to diagram like a whiz. She finished her sentenced and waited for her teacher to tell her how she did.

  9. Patty aced it! She diagrammed everything correctly. Diagramming isn’t that scary after all, thought Patty.
