Diagramming

As i was reading the first two chapters, i saw examples of the diagrams, I thought they were pretty cool, but I just never knew they were so hard. It was my first time to actually hear about diagramming a sentence.

The question i have: How do we know when to put the words on top such as the example shown on bottom of page #30?

Do you mean on the pedestal? I think the prepositional phrases only go on the pedestal when they fill the subject complement slot.

I concur too. I have found it hard to figure what a subject complement is.
