English 10 -- Gerund Phrases

REMINDER: Your book report is DUE on FRIDAY!!! You may present next time for Extra Credit!

Today we studied gerund phrases. Explained here.

We used this picture and wrote the following sentences:
1. Write a simple sentence. Include a subject and a verb. (Choose an ACTION verb).

2. Add a proper noun to your sentence. A proper noun example is Santa Claus or Coca-Cola. Make sure you capitalize a proper noun.

3. Add an adverb to your sentence. An adverb describes an adjective, verb, or another adverb. It describes "how."

4. Add a prepositional phrase to your sentence somewhere. This describes where or when.

5. Use a GERUND phrase to start your sentence. You will take your VERB and turn it into the SUBJECT of your sentence. Then you'll have to add another verb and use your current subject as a direct object. ;o)
