James Madison University

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

  1. Do Exercise 11, part A, on page 62 in your text. You can just write your answer in an ordinary sentence; you do not need to use rule notation.
  2. Do Exercise 13, but just examples 1-3, on p. 65 in your text. (Note that these are not necessarily real rules for English. You are trying to figure out how to read rule notation.)
