Diagramming a sentence involves breaking it down into its grammatical components and illustrating the flow and relationships between them, as given below :

I

looked

at

myself in the

mirror

and saw

↓ ↓

you ↓

behind me

In this diagram:

"I" is the subject of the sentence.

"looked at myself in the mirror" is the main action or verb phrase.

"at" is a preposition introducing the prepositional phrase "at myself in the mirror."

"myself" is a reflexive pronoun, serving as the object of the preposition "at."

"mirror" is the object of the preposition "in."

"and" is a coordinating conjunction connecting the two main verbs.

"saw" is the second main verb.

"you" is the direct object of the verb "saw."

"behind me" is a prepositional phrase modifying "saw," with "behind" as the preposition, and "me" as the object of the preposition
