Before we left is also a prepositional phrase. I'm still stupid so let's move on.

The subject is dad, verb is gave, and the direct object is lunches because it's what dad gave, it's the receiver of the action.
The indirect object is us because it's whom received the verb. Or something. I'm still stupid.

Simora [160]

It intensifies the conflict.

A complication adds to the problem of the story. The stories problem is the conflict. Many times there is more than one complication. When labeling a plot line for a story, the complications can be found in the rising action. This takes place between the exposition and the climax. The exposition of a story introduces the characters, setting, and conflict. The climax is the pivotal point in the conflict.

Prompt: According to these texts, why is it important to conserve water, and how can you do it? Be sure to use evidence from the

Tema [17]

Answer:

Kids can help protect this resource. You make a huge difference simply by starting at home. To get an

idea of how much water we could save if we all made a small effort, think about this. What if every

person across the nation flushed their toilets one time less every day? Together they could save enough

water to fill a lake as large as a mile wide and long and four feet in depth! Now you know how important

it is to help save water. Try some of the ideas below. Start doing your part to change our world!

Some Ways Kids Can Help to Save Water:

• When you wash your hands, don’t leave the water running. Wet your hands and turn the water off.

Use soap and lather your hands well. Then turn the water on to rinse. Turn off the water and make sure

it is off completely. Then dry your hands.

• Do the same when you brush your teeth. Turn the faucet on to get your toothbrush and toothpaste

wet. Turn it on again to rinse your mouth and toothbrush. Don’t leave the water running while you’re

brushing.

• Baths use a lot of water (about 37 gallons on average). Take short showers, and use only about 20

gallons of water, instead.

• Do you have plants in your house? When vegetables or other fresh produce are washed, collect that

water and use it to water the plants.

• Do you like a drink of cold water now and then? Keep a pitcher of water in the refrigerator. That way

you don’t have to run the water to get it cold.

• Put a barrel outdoors to catch rain water. Then use that water for things like watering plants or

flushing toilets. You can save hundreds of gallons of water a year!

• In the summertime, it’s fun to play under the lawn sprinkler. When you do, make sure it’s only when

the lawn is being watered
