1. We decided to sail across the lake – Infinitive phrase.  

An Infinitive phrase is a sentence that uses an infinitive (to + verb ). Word that expresses action. “TO SAIL” would be the infinitive.


2. Tachels favorite pastimes are dancing and reading – Gerund phrase.

Gerunds are “ing” words. They always function as a noun. In this case the gerund would be “dancing and reading” accompanied by its modifiers.


3. We watched the children playing soccer – Participle phrase.

A participle is a verb ending in “ing” that modifies a noun. In this case “playing” would be the present participle which modifies the noun that in this case is “children”.

When the person performing the action in the sentence is also the object of the sentence, the writer should use a (possessive, r
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

C: Reflexive.

Explanation:

A pronoun is a word that is used in place of a noun. This means that pronouns replace the noun in a sentence to avoid repetition and to make the sentence seem or sound smoother.

When a pronoun is used to refer to a person doing the action and also is the object of the sentence, then that pronoun used will be reflexive in nature. This means that the pronoun reflects the subject as well as the object refers to the same person. This is easy to identify by the presence or use of "self/ selves" in the suffix of a pronoun.

For example, in the sentence <u>"She ate the whole cake herself"</u>, the pronoun "she" does the action "ate" and then refers back to "herself" which makes the pronoun reflexive in nature.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
