Module 2 Writing Activity
In your journal, continue your sentence practice with noun and verb phrases. Write at least one of each of the noun phrases discussed in the unit (prepositional phrase, absolute phrase, and appositive phrase) and at least two of each of the verb phrases (infinitive phrase and participial phrase). You will, therefore, write at least seven sentences for this journal activity. As in the first assignment, underline the phrase in each sentence and consider its function in both as a modifier and an aspect of your writing style.
I sat silently in the study lounge, looking at Matt, whose brow was furrowed. His eyes glued to the screen, he cursed under his breath when the program failed for the umteenth time. I could not help but smile to see Matt struggle. Matt, a genius with the computer, was still a mere mortal after all. Sighing heavily, Matt pushed his laptop towards me, who seized it eagerly. To be entrusted to help the great Matt, I felt honoured. However, when I looked at the screen, all I could do was shake my head sadly. Feeling helpless, I admitted, "I don't know what to do," while I returned the laptop to my best friend.
