Hi,
I need more help. I need to know if I diagrammed these sentences correctly.
Edith drew some orange flowers on the side of the house.
Edith......Flowers (drew,some,orange).......(On)......Side (the)...(Of)....House (the)
Final:Noun, Noun, (preposition), Noun, (preposition), Noun
I don't think I did the above sentence correctly.
Gary saw Mavis with his binoculars.
Gary.......Mavis (saw).......Binoculars (with, his)
There are two ways this sentence can be done? Is the 'saw' connected to Gary or Mavis or could it be either or?
I also need help with figuring how to draw certain things like the 'of' and 'on' in the first sentence.
This site will show you how those sentences should be diagrammed.

It seems like you're looking for feedback on your sentence diagrams. Let's go through each of the sentences and see if they have been diagrammed correctly.
For the sentence "Edith drew some orange flowers on the side of the house," your diagram is close but not quite accurate. Here's a correct diagram:
Edith
|
drew
|
some orange
/ \
/ \
flowers on the side
\
\
\
of the house
In this diagram, "Edith" is the subject, "drew" is the main verb, "some orange" modifies "flowers" (adjective phrase), and "on the side of the house" is the prepositional phrase modifying "drew."
Now, let's move on to the second sentence, "Gary saw Mavis with his binoculars." In this case, you correctly identified "Gary" as the subject and "saw" as the main verb. Here's a possible diagram:
Gary
|
saw
|
Mavis
/ | \
with his binoculars
In this diagram, "Gary" is the subject, "saw" is the main verb, and "Mavis" is the direct object. The phrase "with his binoculars" provides additional information about how the action was performed and modifies the verb "saw."
Regarding your question about the connection between "saw" and "Gary" or "Mavis," in this sentence, "saw" is directly connected to "Gary." It is Gary who sees Mavis, not the other way around.
