I remember wayyyyyy back in grammar school we had to diagram sentences, identify the noun, verb, preposition, adjective, pronoun, adverb, etc....

Do you know of a reference (website or book) that would help with a refresher on this? I am trying to help a student, and my mind is sure rusty. I know the basics, but those pronouns, adverbs and prepositions always get me stumped.

In addition to helping my student, it would also be a great help to me as well.

I loved diagramming. Our teacher used to divide us into teams, and we'd diagram sentences on the blackboard. It's probably the only time anyone ever wanted me on their team.

Here's one site that may be of help.
Diagramming Sentences

I'll look for some more, and I think I can recall recently seeing a book on diagramming sentences.

Grammar by Diagram: Understanding English Grammar Through Traditional Sentence Diagramming

Grammar & Diagramming Sentences (Advanced Straight Forward English Series) by Nan DeVincent-Hayes

I haven't used either of these books, so you will have to read the descriptions to see if they're appropriate for you. There are no doubt others, but since these two came up on Amazon first, they're probably the most popular.
