This lesson focuses on diagramming sentences that contain infinitive phrases used as adjectives and adverbs. Infinitives and their phrases can modify various parts of a sentence, and understanding how to diagram these structures is crucial for clarity. We will explore how to identify what is being modified by asking relevant adverb questions, such as how, when, where, and why. Examples include sentences like "Eager fans competed to buy tickets to the show," and "Guards at the auditorium worked to prevent injuries." Practice diagramming these and other sentences to reinforce your understanding.
