Okay, let me work my nonexistent magic.
Sentence: Jerry walked with Terri up the grocery store and bought some apples.
"Jerry" is the subject.
"with" starts the prepositional phrase "with Terri" which, to be specific, is an adverbial prepositional phrase while "Terri" is the object of the preposition.
"Up the grocery store" is yet another adverbial prepositional phrase with "store" as its object.
"walked. . .and bought" is a compound verb phrase.
"Apples" is the direct object of "bought".
There is no nominitive, direct object, or predicate adjective for "walked".
"some" is, I believe, an adjective for apples.
Out of the structural sentences, it would be a simple sentence.
Thank you, 7th grade english classes.

I've been learning diagramming for the past four years, give or take a few months, and I am one of the most advanced students in my class. At my school you are required to be able to diagram in order to pass English. My eighth grade teacher took my class to debating sentence diagrams by the end of the year. It was impressive. I thinks it is fun, but only when your not stuck in a room with a group of people that do not know how to do it.

Actually, wouldn't "apples" be the direct object of "bought?" That would make "some" a modifier of "apples."

Thank you, 7th grade english classes. "with Terri" is only an adverbial phrase under walked. (Small detail, but it bugged me.)

My, it has been quite awhile since I have encountered sentence diagramming.
The last time I encountered it was my seventh grade English class, of which I have fond memories. One irksome factor, though, was those children in the back who insisted on deliberately not paying attention only to hold the class back for the day and making our homework pile.

Thank you, 7th grade english classes. "with Terri" is only an adverbial phrase under walked. (Small detail, but it bugged me.) I beg to differ. The word "with" is a preposition. Adverbial phrase is a prepositional phrase that describes a VERB, making it a phrase that acts as an ADVERB, as in ADVERBial. You actually said so yourself in the description. Only you used adverbial prepositional phrase instead of adverbial phrase. They are the same thing. The only point I was trying to make was that "with Terri" only went under walked, not bought, when actually diagrammed out. It does not actually decribe the entire verb.
