Modern Grammar - Assignment 10

James Madison University

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

  1. Print out the formatted form for pronoun and determiner subclasses that is posted on our Blackboard site in the Documents section, and then fill in all the appropriate English pronouns (sticking to Standard English, unless you feel inclined to add others :) ) and answer the other questions on that form.
  2. Give Exercise 12 on p. 156 your best try with the following addition - find the possessive determiners as well as all pronouns and other proforms.
  3. Attempt to underline all and only the quantifiers in the following rather long sentence:
    All my friend's clovers had three leaves, but most of mine had four, and so without giving it much thought, I gave him several of the biggest ones because no clover brings as much luck as a good friend .
