Modern Grammar - Assignment 11 James Madison University

Instructions: This assignment contains both some more practice with word class details discussed recently, plus some practice with new material from the textbook and the conjunctions/complementizer/discourse connectives handout. [This assignment will be marked only as an acceptable or unacceptable effort. ]

1. What are three different "two-word verbs" (AKA phrasal verbs or verb particle constructions) that are built of the verb "hold" plus a particle? Give a different example sentence for each.
2. Write a sentence that contains at least three prepositional phrases.
3. UNDERLINE the two coordinate conjunctions in the following rather long sentence, CIRCLE the one subordinate conjunction in it, and MAKE A LIST of all the quantifiers it contains:
   All my friend's clovers had three leaves, but most of mine had four, and I gave him several of the biggest ones because good luck should be shared with your loved ones.
4. The following example contains either a subordinate conjunction or a "discourse connective". Using our textook and the handout now available on CANVAS (entitled "Conjunctions vs. Complementizers vs. Discourse Connectives"), attempt to underline the relevant word, to state which you think it is, and to explain why you think so:
   "I certainly will try to cook us something for dinner; however, I make no promises about the results."
