The second step of a sentence flow is to put the sentence skeleton on the main line.
Displaying Subjects
After you have placed the verbs, then find the subject for each of the verbs you have listed. The subject can be located by asking who or what does the action of the verb. For example, for the first verb in this passage you would ask,
Who loved?
Who did the act of loving?
As each verb is highlighted, click on the word in the passage that is the subject of that verb. You will see the results displayed in the sentence flow below.
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. - John 3:16-18 NASB
