<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Walking on the beach  - </em><u><em>Participial Phrase </em></u>

<em> To precisely convey ideas -</em><u><em> Infinitive Phrase</em></u>

<em>Running in a race - </em><u><em>Gerund Phrase</em></u>

<u>Explanation: </u>

Words that usually formed with verbs but can be used as nouns in other circumstances are called gerunds. For instance, in the above sentence, the words create a gerund phrase because they serve as subjects of the given sentence. In other words, the gerunds have relationship to the participial phrases because both of them have an ending of –ing, which is a suffix of the root word. Therefore, complete gerund functions as an object, noun, or a predicate. while a participial phrase functions as an adjective not as a verb. Infinitive phrase often starts with the word "To".

Do a narrative essay on If you were An Animal you Would Be? Could you help me start, and give some ideas?
Tom [10]


If I were an animal, I would rather be a Lion. I would laze the whole day under the  shade of the acacia tree, away from the hot baking sun of the African savannah.

With a contented, refreshed sigh, I would  rise and ever so quietly slip back into the green luxurious curtain of grass,...

Who is “she” in the story?
Allisa [31]

Answer:

'She' is a cat.

Explanation:

Clues to this answer:

"She stretched her legs, one at a time." It clearly isn't a snake, they are legless. It can't be a bird, they sleep in trees/nests. Not a girl, as it isn't a human child sleeping outside.

"Who knows, maybe I could catch a mouse!" Using the conclusions from the other clue, this is defiantly a cat. Cats love mice, they have four legs, and they'd happily sleep outside.

So, your answer is: C: A cat.
