Modern Grammar - Assignment 11 James Madison University

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

1. The following example contains either a subordinate conjunction or a discourse connective. Underline the relevant word and state which it is: "I certainly will try to cook us something for dinner; however, I make no promises about the results." Also, is this example one sentence or two sentences?
2. What is the antecedent of the pronoun "her" in the following sentence?
   My friend moved from Virginia to New York, but I still keep in touch with her. ________________
3. While we haven't quite covered all pronoun subclasses, use your textbook to help and give Exercise 12 on p. 156 your best try with the following changes - find the possessive determiners as well as all pronouns and oter proforms and just do the identifications; you don't have to worry about all the antecedents!
4. (Something else to try -- after reading the textbook discussion of quantifiers. Hint: quantifiers are sometimes more similar to pronouns and sometimes more similar to determiners...) Underline all the quantifiers in the following sentence:
   All my friends' clovers had three leaves, but mine had four.
