Syntax diagram

A syntax diagram is a way to show how words and symbols fit together to create sentences or statements. Think of it like a puzzle where each piece represents a different part of the sentence.

For example, let's say you want to make the sentence "The cat chased the mouse." A syntax diagram for this sentence would show you that "The" is an article that describes the noun "cat," "chased" is a verb that describes the action, and "mouse" is another noun that the cat is chasing.

The syntax diagram would also show you the order in which the words should appear in the sentence, like this:

[The] [cat] [chased] [the] [mouse]

You could also see which words and symbols are optional or can be repeated by looking at the syntax diagram.

Overall, a syntax diagram is a visual tool that helps you understand how language works and how to put words together in a meaningful way.
