2. Break the sentence into subject and predicate.

5. Map the sentence into a tree diagram.
How to Diagram the sentence with Basic PSRs
1. Open tree form and select Binary
2. Select Node Down and drag to create a node on the right
3. Write in the basic formula to create the structure of the tree
4. Use Node Down to create nodes to fill in the phrases
Map the sentence into the tree
6. Start with the subject
Add the Subject of the sentence under the PSR
NP--> Name --> Dr. Sneeden
NP--> Name --> Dr. Sneeden
7. Add the predicate
Add the predicate of the sentence under the PSR
VP--> V NP
VP--> V Teaches NP--> N English
VP--> V NP
VP--> V Teaches NP--> N English
