Module 2 Writing Activity

In your journal, discuss any disadvantages to the place where you live and 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.

a.) The neighbors from Utah, are really loud and obnoxious. (prepositional phrase)

b.)  The old village near ours, its old, dirty and abandoned houses, does not add any beauty to our district. (absolute phrase)

c.) The girl next door, a seemingly very quite person, has two dogs that bark and growl all the time. (appositive phrase)

d.) The apartment owner's intent to check if we keep it in its original condition, is something that we don't want. (infinite phrases)

e.)The old villa down the road, having been purchased repeatedly, is for sale. (participial phrase)
