Participial, Participial

A participial is a verb used an adjective. In the first sentence, the participial phrase "Lying in bed" describes "I' by saying where I is when it hears the strange noise. The other participial phrase is "running the event". "Running in the even" describes who the committee is.

Prepositional phrases begin with a preposition and end with a preposition. A gerund is a verb phrase that acts as a noun. An infinitive is the basic form for all verbs and is usually preceded by the word 2.

Read this sentence. To raise money for uniforms, a car wash will be held by members of the volleyball team. How should the sente

insens350 [35]

Answer:

The best way to revise the sentence is:

D. To raise money for uniforms, members of the volleyball team will hold a car wash on Saturday.

Explanation:

The original sentence is not really defective, it is only missing a piece of information concerning when the car wash will be held. The best way to add it is to include it at the end of the sentence, as is done in letter D. To raise money for uniforms, members of the volleyball team will hold a car wash on Saturday.

Let's take a look at the other options to understand why they are not usable.

Letter A does begin with the subject of the sentence, but interrupts it with extra information, preventing the sentence from being a direct one. It sounds really confusing. Letter B adds the "on Saturday" information at a strange place, also interrupting the direct flow of the sentence. Letter C puts the "on Saturday" information right at the beginning. It's not that this can't be done. But, in this case, a comma should be added after it. Nevertheless, it makes the introduction of the sentence too long, which is not a good thing.

Caption: The group of protesters who surrounded City Hall was not a fly buzzing in one's ear; instead they were a swarm of bees

Figurative language because its not literal. If it were literal then there would really be bee's flying in their ear. But in reality the bee's were referring to something besides the bees.

Predicate pronoun

A predicate pronoun is any pronoun that is part of the predicate.

A predicate is the part of a sentence that includes the verb and the words following it that relate to that verb.

Examples:

I will call him .

The teacher gave us a history assignment.

Mother made lunch for them .

A sentence may have more than one predicate; for example:

Mother made lunch for them and set it on the picnic table.

A subjective pronoun can be part of a predicate when it is the subject of a clause,; for example:

Mary brought a cake she made for the party .

A subjective pronoun is also used as a subject complement when it follows a linking verb; for example:

The leaders right now are he and I .
