It is difficult to draw diagrams in this format.

The subject and predicate go on a horizontal line divided by a vertical line that extends below the main line.


nobody | can

The two verbs are placed on horizontal lines, one above the other. The top line is above the main line and the bottom one is below it. The top one is connected to the main line by a diagonal line / and the bottom is connected to the main line by \ . This shows that two verbs share "can" as an auxiliary. The last step is draw a dotted line from talk to listen and write "and" next to it. This shows that "and" connects talk to listen.

Capitalize the first word of the sentance, no matter what part of speech it is.
