Well first, the thing that helps me, I underline the subjects, double underline the verbs, circle the adjectives, and put the adverbs in brackets. The subject will go on the left side of the line, with a line separating the verb(s). then you put diagonal lines under those lines that will have the adjective(s), always put the word on the diagonal line close to the word it is describing. The, beautiful, white are the adjectives, swans is the subject, and floated is the verb, so you would put on the left side of the line swans, the right floated, there would be three diagonal lines, The would be under the left side, and beautiful and white would be on the bottom right side.
