Module 2 Writing Activity
In your journal, continue your sentence practice with noun and verb phrases. Write at least one of each of the noun phrases discussed in the unit (prepositional phrase, absolute phrase, and appositive phrase) and at least two of each of the verb phrases (infinitive phrase and participial phrase). You will, therefore, write at least seven sentences for this journal activity. As in the first assignment, underline the phrase in each sentence and consider its function in both as a modifier and an aspect of your writing style.
prepositional phrase
The dog is playing in the back yard.
absolute phrase
The man is cooking, his eyes glazing at the meat on the stove.
appositive phrase
An unusually sweet dog, Abby likes greeting people.
infinitive phrase
1. The man checks the food every a few minute to make sure it wont get burnt.
2. The woman deadheads the flowers to make them look neat.
participial phrase
1. Seeing the neighbor walking towards our yard, Abby barks at him.
2. So excited to see him, Abby puts her front paws onto the gate.
