Punctuation Practice and Diagramming

Complete pages 99-100 in your text.  Look up terms or punctuation marks in your book if you need help on any sentence.  Do your best!

Study root words and derivatives.

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!
