"Hello World!" is simply direct address and would be diagrammed on two separate lines. A sentence MUST include predication where something is told about something. All R-K's will have a plus sign somewhere in them to indicate this predication.
That would be very interesting to hear some of my students try to teach.
Hmm, I see. So the 'plus' sign is used to connect the subject and the predicate in R-K's, right? Like this:
I diagram sentences.
I diagram + sentences.
By the way, I think I understand there are more than one sentence diagramming methods? R-K would be one of them, maybe the most important/known/used one?
PS I suspected there would be problems with 'Hello World'. I just picked it up because we were previously talking about computers and this expression is a
traditional one programmers use whenever they begin learning a new programming language (traditionally 'Hello World' is the first program you write in a new language).
