I looked this question up and found out that the underlined phrase should be "was attending". The answer choices for this question are the following:

A. noun clause

B. verb phrase

C. adjectival phrase

D. adverbial clause

Answer:

The underlined phrase is a:

B. verb phrase

Explanation:

A verb phrase consists of a main verb or of a main verb and the auxiliary or modal verbs that accompany it. Take a look at the examples below:

- Joshua sang beautifully last night. --> verb phrase is "sang"

- Eileen has gone to Ireland. --> verb phrase is "has gone"

Thus, we can easily see that "was attending" is also a verb phrase. The main verb is "attending" and the auxiliary is "was".

. Rewrite the sentences. Use the Second Conditional. 1) I haven’t got any money, so I won’t buy that CD. ____If I had some money
mina [271]

Answer:

2) If pigs had wings, they would fly.

3) If he worked hard, his marks would be good.

Explanation:

Second conditional is a structure that expresses an impossible (or highly unlikely) situation. In other words, it expresses a condition that can't be met.

The structure of the second conditional is as follows:

- main clause (the condition) contains "if" and verb in past tense

- the other clause contains would+verb construction.

So, these are rewritten sentences:

2) If pigs had wings, they would fly.

3) If he worked hard, his marks would be good.

If we write the "if" clause first, we need to separate it with a comma, otherwise we don't.
