Question

What change was made in the second sentence? He decided to study Rome. He decided to study Rome for the history lesson. changed sentence length created a compound sentence inverted subject-verb order added a prepositional phrase

Answer 1

A prepositional phrase was added to the second sentence, although technically the sentence length was also changed.

A prepositional phrase can function as either an adjective phrase or an adverb phrase to modify other words in a sentence. Common examples of propostions in a sentence include after, at, before, behind, for, from, in, etc... In the sencond sentence, the prepostional phrase is "for the history lesson."

A compound sentence is a sentence that has at least two independent clauses joined by a comma, semicolon, or conjuction. The new sentence does not have two independent clauses.

Inverted word order is when the subject comes after the verb, in between verb parts, or is not included at all.

Answer 2

Compound sentence (even though technically he also made the sentence longer)
