Please Help Me Diagram This Sentence.?

Question

Hand it over.

I know that the understood subject is: (you) and 'Hand' is the verb, but I do not understand the functions of 'it' and 'over'. I know that they are not part of a prepositional phrase.

Here's what I have so far.

(you) | Hand

Answer 1

Irrelevantly, I would encourage you to go and download "Pink"'s song called "You and your hand". For no apparent reason, your question reminded me of it.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Here's the correct answer: As you said, "you" is the understood subject. But, the verb is "hand over"--a transitive verb. "It," therefore, is the direct object. When you identify the true verb in this sentence, the rest of "it" falls into place.

Answer 3

1. you got the subject and verb correct. (understood 'you' and "hand")
2. if you ask the question "to what extent (hand)?" the reply would be "over." that means "over" is an adverb modifying the verb "hand."
3. "it" is a direct object answering the question "understood 'you' hand 'who or what?'" (you hand who or what? you hand it. the it can mean a person or a thing.)

got it? :)

Answer 4

The verb is "hand over"--some phrasal verbs are formed by a verb and a preposition; e.g., "get up," "put up with," "pass forward," and "hang up."

"It" is the direct object of the verb.

So to diagram the sentence:

(You) || hand (over) | it.
