FairProspects Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I have checked all my diagramming books and scoured the internet, and I cannot figure out how to diagram compound prepositional phrase. The speedy athlete ran through, around, and over the obstacles. How do you diagram the prepositional phrase when 3 different prepositions share the same object of preposition? Help, please!

Brenda in FL Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I would do a 3 pronged fork coming off the verb at a slant. At the point draw the horizontal line for the object. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairProspects Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 So the "and" goes between the lines for around and over or across all 3 prepositions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
