Write the absolute or participial phrase in the sentences below, and identify whether that phrase is an absolute phrase or a par
vazorg [7]

Answer:

1. the night being rainy and cold → absolute phrase

2. opening the birthday card → participial phrase

3. the prizes having been awarded → absolute phrase

4. sitting beside his grandfather → participial phrase

5. having found a parking spot → participial phrase

6. the chocolate cake baked → absolute phrase

7. the war finally ending → absolute phrase

8. having attended the concert held at Stanley Park → participial phrase

9. dressed in his old uniform → participial phrase

10. the coach singing their praises → absolute phrase

Explanation:

Both absolute and participial phrases are used to modify and offer further information about something. The absolute phrase modifies an entire sentence, while the participial phrase modifies a noun. The best way to identify each is by looking at their subjects. The absolute phrase has a subject of its own, while the participial phrase has the same subject as the other clause.

Let's use two of the sentences in the question to better illustrate that:

6. The chocolate cake baked, Mrs. Patruni turned to the decorations. --> The subject of the phrase is "the chocolate cake", while the subject of the clause is "Mrs. Patruni". Thus, we have an absolute sentence.

9. Dressed in his old uniform, Dad walked in the parade. --> The subject of the clause and of the phrase is the same, "Dad". Dad walked and Dad was dressed. In this case, we have a participial phrase.

In Romeo and Juliet, why does Friar Laurence seem reluctant toward Romeo’s requests to marry Juliet?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
During Act 2 scene 3, friar laurence says "is rosaline that thou didst love so dear, so soon forsaken? (...) The sun not yet thy sighs from heaven clears, thy old groans ring yet in mine ancient ears." Basically, he thinks Romeo musnt truly be in love with Juliet if he had just a couple days or so ago been crying over Rosaline not liking him back. He's reluctant towards romeo's requests to marry juliet because he thinks its too soon for romeo to know he is in love with juliet.
