Answer: good things happen to those who wait
Explanation:
Hi there!
Even though this question was submitted a week ago, I'd love to give pointers to those that may stumble upon this question asking for help.
A thesis statement is basically stating what your whole essay is about, and is based on your opinion. It's usually located at the end of your opening paragraph, and is short, sweet, and straight to the point (being a sentence long). When drafting your thesis statement, keep in mind the three, or two, ideas that you wrote about or are writing about in your body paragraphs. A thesis statement is kind of like paraphrasing, just making your main ideas of the body paragraphs provable.
Your thesis statement can, and is reccommended to be restated in your closing paragraph. When restating your thesis statement, I don't recommend to use the same exact sentence- change it up a bit.
An example of a thesis statement;
Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are the best type of sandwich because they are versatile, easy to make, and taste good.
This means that my essay is focused on proving that PB&J is the best type of sandwich. My body paragraphs will be about it's versatility, how it's easy to make, and it's taste.
Hoping I helped some!
Answer:
Demonstrative Pronoun: <em>"These"</em>
Verbal: <em>"earning"</em>
Type of verbal: <em>"gerund"</em>
Personal pronoun:<em> "my"</em>
Explanation:
Demonstrative Pronouns: These are the pronouns which point to something specific within a sentence
Examples: this, that, these, those, such, none, neither.
Verbals: These are words made from verbs but functioning NOT as verbs but as something else (nouns, adjectives, or adverbs).
Examples: In the sentences; cooking requires a lot of skill, he is a learned man, she likes to eat mangoes, <em>cooking</em> (gerund)<em>, learned</em> (participle)<em>, and to eat </em>(infinitive)<em> are </em>verbals.
Gerund verbal: These are verbals formed by adding <em>-ing</em> after the verbs and functioning as noun.<em> "earning"</em> is acting as a noun; and hence is a gerund.
The personal pronoun "my" is used modifying gerund (noun) "earning"
Poe dresses Fortunato as a fool because he followed Montressor into the catacombs in hopes of sampling a rare bottle of wine which are the actions of a fool. In the end he allows Montressor to manipulate him and kill him without realizing the real intentions of his "friend" until it is done
