Root Study and Writing

Study your root words and derivatives very well each day.


Writing Practice:

Use prepositional phrases, appositive phrases, and participial phrases to combine the following sentences to make new sentences in the way that seems best to you.  Take the time to review each of the above named phrases before you begin using your text book.  (Appositive phrases are appositives that simply contain more than one word - such as:  Charles Dickens, a British novelist, was born in 1812.)

1)  You will need the address I gave you.  You'll need it for your application.

2)  The cookies are ready to bake.  They are on the cookie sheet.

3)  I ordered the soup.  It was a clam chowder.

4)  The doctor treated poor patients in her free time.  She is a compassionate person.

5)  The baker preheated the oven.  He turned it to 350 degrees.

6)  The farmer hummed to herself.  She did this while she baled the hay.
