Traditional Grammar - Assignment 18 James Madison University

Instructions: [This assignment will be marked only as an acceptable or unacceptable effort.]

• PRACTICE WITH ADJECTIVE CLAUSES: Re-read Emery Lesson THIRTEEN (except the last three parts), and then do the examples below plus examples 1-4 and 6-7 in this Emery lesson:
  
  1. We do not like fish that has been overcooked.
  (Hint to get you started: the adjective clause in this example modifies "fish")
  2. This book, which has been sitting on my shelf for years, should probably be returned to the library. (Hints: adjective clauses can be set off by commas sometimes; also --remember that "which" can be a relative pronoun...)
  3. The little girl, who was very observant, saw a box wrapped in the paper that my mother always uses. (Hint: look for two adjective clauses)
  4. Rudolph, the reindeer whom the other reindeers teased incessantly before the day that his shiny nose saved Christmas, was willing to forgive and forget. (Hints: Count your finite verb phrases; remember that "ing" words can be adjectives. :) )
• MORE PRACTICE WITH ADVERBIAL CLAUSES: Do just examples 1, 3, 5, and 16 in Emery Lesson 17. (Hint: watch for adjective clauses in two of these examples too! :) )
