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.

Ghost Chp. 4&5 summary Can you guys please help me this is due today
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

I'm sorry but I do not have the book, nor could I find it online but I can help you make the summary if you have the book and have read it. Believe me, it's easy.

To write a summary, especially in a formal writing, you'll have to write the name of the book, author and then finally the summary.

Your summary should be in paragraphs as you put each main point in one paragraph.

When you read and understand the text you're supposed to summarise, you write out only important details that affect the structure and narration of the book.

For example, if the death of a character directly impacts the meaning of the book, make sure you include that too.

Make sure that your summary is straight to the point and easy to understand.

What rhetorical strategy does the speaker use to communicate her purpose? Fear Is Simple
romanna [79]

The incomplete question, I inferred from a general knowledge of the types of rhetorical strategies.

Explanation:

It is more likely use of metaphor because this rhetorical strategy compares two things together– which should not be taken literally. Also, note that the use of rhetoric in speech is to persuade listeners towards adopting the viewpoint of what is been said.

Here are some common rhetorical strategies:

1. Epistrophe

The strategy employed here involves a deliberate repetition of a word or phrase at the end of each sentence.

For example, note the phrase in the bracket from Abraham Lincoln's quote

“… that government of (the people), by (the people), for (the people), shall not perish from the earth.”

2. Anaphora

A strategy that also often involves repeating a word or phrase but at the beginning not the end of the sentences in the statement.

For example, note the word in the bracket in the statement below

“fight" in France, (we shall fight) on the seas and oceans, (we shall fight) with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, (we shall) defend our island, whatever the cost may be. (We shall fight) on the beaches, (we shall fight) on the landing grounds, (we shall fight) in the fields and in the streets, (we shall fight ) in the hills…”
