All about Adjectives

In a recent grammar review, we focused upon adjective clauses.  Do you remember?  Look back over pages 81-83 in your text.  Review any errors you made during practice on work pages 85-88.

Now lets review adjective phrases: present participles, past participles, and some infinitives all act as adjectives.

Present Participles ~ see pages 61-66.
Past Participles ~ see pages 67-72.
Infinitives ~ see pages 53-56.

Are you able to recognize each of the above reviewed adjective constructions?  You should be able to do that, so study all these pages carefully to be very familiar with these forms of grammar found in sentences.

Your attention to your studying these grammatical forms will be quizzed in class after spring break.

There are no written assignments at this time.

Review all about prepositions in your text on the bottom of page 17 through the top of 18.  Remember: a preposition may serve as an adverb if it does not have an object and answers one of the adverb questions.

Diagram the following sentences:  (Only the last one contains a clause.)

1) Their new sailboat skims along quite fast.

2) Northward flows the murky river.

3) Boxes of fruit were stacked on the table.

4) Today our professor will lecture about economic forecasts and what we talked about yesterday.

(The sentence above is a challenge sentence.  Hint: there are compound objects of a preposition, one of which is a noun clause.)  Go slowly and start with finding the main subject and verb of the sentence; you can do it!
