Default Re: Proofreading

It should do- to break a sentence down, you need a working knowledge of grammatical terms and an ability to work out how the words relate in the sentence. Many are fairly easy, but there are always cases where it is difficult and disagreements occur. Some people say that diagramming sentecnes helps, but I've never been that keen on it.
