A verbal modifier is a word or phrase that can be used to describe a verb or a verbal phrase.

A modifier can be defined as a word, phrase, or clause that gives information about another word in the same sentence.

Example of verbal modifier in English grammar is- "Infinitive".

An infinitive is a verbal consisting of the word "to" placed before a verb (in its simplest "stem" form) which functions as a noun, adjective, or adverb.

Examples of infinitive to read, to run, to jump, to play, to sing, to laugh, to cry, to eat, and to go etc.

The following points of how to identify an infinitive phrase in a sentence are-

  • Find the word "to".
  • Second, if the word placed after "to" is a verb, then it is an infinitive.
  • If the infinitive is put in the middle of the sentence, then the infinitive phrase starts at "to" and ends at the end of the sentence.

How is expository writing and argumentative writing similar
o-na [289]

Answer:

The Similarities between expository writing and argumentative writing are not far fetched.

  • Both expository and argumentative writing makes use of a logical flow of reasoning to present facts in an essay.
  • Both writings use an objective and convincing approach to present facts.
  • Both writings present supportive facts in the body of an essay with the use of genuine information from reliable sources to buttress each points.
  • There are similarities in the essay structure because they both have an introduction, a thesis, a body containing  sufficient facts in paragraphs and a conclusion.

Explanation:

Expository writing is a writing technique that sufficiently explains an issue or topic. For this type of writing, the writer is expected to not share his personal beliefs or ideas.  The writer should also be objective and maintain a neutral tone. Examples of Expository writing are, " Analysis on the  First Inaugural Speech", "The Role of the Police in Administration of Criminal Justice", etc.

Argumentative writing is an attempt by the writer to convince the readers or audience. It contains the writer's personal opinion and it contains logical reasoning. This type of writing is more subjective. Examples are, Should Tax be increased? Is the Entertainment Industry living up to expectation? etc.
