Exercise 1 Edit the sentence for clarity and correct grammar.

English

Answer: "Two friends of mine are Kenji and Jose" is the grammatically correct sentence.

Explanation: In this sentence, "are" acts as the linking verb. It is a form of the linking verb "to be". However, "to be" has another form, "is". The type of verb to be used can usually be determined by how the sentence sounds.

The main way of deciding the verb to use is to relate it to the noun which is performing the action. If the noun itself is singular, "is" must be used whereas for plural nouns "are" is to be used.

When the form of verb is in accordance to the subject, it is called subject-verb agreement.

In the given sentence, the subjects are the two friends Kenji and Jose. Thus, the subject is plural. As a result, "are" is used and the correct sentence is "Two friends of mine are Kenji and Jose".

Identify if the prepositional phrase in italics is being used as an adverb or an adjective and drag it to the
Tamiku [17]

A prepositional phrase contains a preposition and the words that it modifies. The prepositional phrases and their functions in the sentences have been identified as follows:

  • (Adjective) The recipe book <em>on the kitchen floor </em>got full of grease.
  • (Adverb)  Shaun is still sore<em> from yesterday's practice.</em>
  • (Adverb)  <em>Before his exam,</em> Joe sharpened two pencils.
  • (Adjective) The bananas<em> in that basket </em>are ripe.
  • (Adjective) The text message <em>from Ron </em>said he'd be here soon.
  • (Adverb) Feeling adventurous, we went <em>to the new taco place.</em>

When prepositional phrases modify nouns, they act as adjectives but when they modify verbs they function as adverbs. Adverbs tell us when, how, where, and the manner of an action.

Adjectives provide further descriptions of nouns. In sentence 1 for instance, the prepositional phrase modifies the noun, 'book', therefore, it functions as an adjective.

In the second sentence, the prepositional phrase modifies the verb 'sore'. So, following this pattern, the prepositional phrases have been correctly matched.
