What circumstances in the summer of 1816 prompted Mary Shelley to write this novel?
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

In the summer of 1816, Mary Shelley visited Geneva Lake (Switzerland) and spent her days in Switzerland with Lord Byron, Percy Shelley, and Dr. John Polidori. One day, after reading a collection of German short stories, called <em>Fantasmagoriana</em>, they decided to write their own short, supernatural stories.  

Her story was called <em>Frankenstein</em>. Mary Shelley decided to convert her story into a novel, so she continued to write it until she finally completed the novel in 1817. The novel was first published anonymously, in 1818.

Click on the box below to choose the correct sentence pattern for the sentence below.
tester [92]

Answer:

There is good reason to be thankful.

E-V-S (Expletive-Verb-Subject)

Explanation:

Unlike most sentences, this sentence does not follow the usual pattern of Subject + Verb, instead, it begins with an Expletive, then a verb and lastly the subject.

<em>There</em> is the expletive because it is a word without meaning that does not add to the sense of the sentence, and that, instead, is inserted to give emphasis, it acts as an intensifier.

<em>Is</em> is a conjugation of the verb “be” in present and it indicates the existence of the subject.

Lastly, <em>good reason to be thankful</em> is the subject because it is the thing that is being discussed in the sentence.
