Infinitive Phrases

A phrase that includes an infinitive along with a simple verb is an infinitive phrase. There may also be modifiers attached to the object in the phrase, It contains a verb, so it plays the role of expressing an action in the sentence. Infinitive phrases can act as a noun, adjective or adverb in a complete sentence.

A participle phrase will begin with a participle, which can be a present participle (ending with -ing) or a past participle (ending with -ed). There may be a few modifiers and associated words included in the phrase. One thing to remember is that a participle phrase always takes the form of an adjective in a sentence.

Complete the sentence with an appropriate INTENSIVE PRONOUN. Diana found the story difficult to believe
ivanzaharov [21]

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

Complete the sentence with an appropriate intensive pronouns.

Diana found the story difficult to believe______________.

A. she

B. itself

C. herself

Answer:

Diana found the story difficult to believe herself.

Explanation:

<u>Intensive pronouns are used to emphasize the nouns they refer to.</u> We need to be careful because intensive pronouns and reflexive pronouns are actually the same - myself, yourself, himself, etc. It is the use in context that differs.

In the sentence we are supposed to complete, we need to choose the appropriate intensive pronoun among the options. <u>Since "she" is a subject pronoun, we can already eliminate it. If we use "itself", we will be emphasizing "story". However, the person who has difficulty believing the story is Diana. She is the one who should be emphasized. Therefore, we can eliminate "itself" and safely choose "herself".</u>

Diana found the story difficult to believe herself.
