Diagram Sentence Structure

Diagramming is a great way to break down a passage's flow of thought by grouping and arranging the various words and phrases according to their function in a sentence.

The Diagram feature lets you create diagrams of sentence structure for any Bible text, and is particularly useful with grammatically tagged texts. Standard Macintosh drawing capabilities are used wherever possible, making the Diagram features intuitive to most users.

You should be familiar with the principles of diagramming in order to create a diagram; these principles are outside the scope of Accordance Bible Software; however, for your convenience, here is a link to help beginners to sentence diagramming get started.

An example of a diagram is shown above. This diagram uses the Baseline symbol to distinguish the subject from the verb, the Direct Object symbol to mark the direct object, and the Left Branch symbol to distinguish the two phrases joined by the conjunction "and."
