Root Words, Pronoun Review, and Practice
Study your root words. We are getting very close to completing the whole book of words, so keep studying each day to master them all!
Review ALL the different types of pronouns and read about their usage, being able to recognize and label them for their part of speech. Thoughtfully read and review pages 44, 47, 49, and 51 in your text.
In the sentences below, name the part of speech for each word in the sentence. Work carefully, asking yourself the proper questions to correctly determine the part of speech for each word (not its sentence position).
6) When we compared our pictures, most of us thought that his had the best shading.
7) In the morning, Father will post the work to do for the day.
8) The broken fence post should be replaced before the cows push through the fence and get out.
9) The water of the mountain stream felt refreshingly cool to me.
10) Before evening, the creeks had become so flooded that many roads were nearly impassable.

Grammar Practice
A) Study all roots and meanings, especially the newer ones.
B) Name the part of speech for each word. Treat verbals (infinitives, participles, and gerunds) as the part of speech which they are performing.
N. V. N. ADJ. N.
Here is an example: (1) God promises to bless the faithful. ("To bless" is an infinitive direct object, therefore it is a noun. "Faithful" is the object of "to bless", therefore it is a noun also.)
2) Lo, His presence continually surrounds us, although we do not see Him with our physical eyes.
3) To deceive another person is never right.
4) The priest and the Levite ignored the injured man; however, the Samaritan showed a neighborly attitude to
him.
5) The children's efforts to surprise their parents were well rewarded.
C) Review the information all about prepositions again on pages 17-18 in your text. Then, review conjunctive adverbs on page 38. In the sentences below, label each underlined word as an adverb (adv.) or a preposition (prep.).
1) The cool spring water flowed over my feet and on down the valley.
2) Anita stepped outside and motioned for me to come up the steps.
3) Conrad wanted to go along, but he had to stay behind for this time.
4) After Charles climbed down from the tractor, we walked along the field lane looking for walnuts.
5) A large buck that had been hiding behind a stone wall jumped up and dashed away.
D) In the following sentences, underline each prepositional phrase and label whether it is an adjective (ADJ.), adverb (ADV.) or a noun (N.)
1) "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God."
2) "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind."
3) "Let us labor therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief."
4) Vultures are birds of prey with slightly hooked bills.
5) Their heads are not feathered like those of other birds.
E) Diagram the following sentence. It has several prepositional phrases, one of which has compound objects. You may want to look back in your class notes to review the prepositional phrase diagramming structure.
The influences of your present choices and habits will linger with you throughout the rest of your life.
