Unit 4: Journal 2
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.
Prepositional phrase:
Calgary has a love/hate relationship with public transit but according to what I have been hearing our
mayor is very much committed to improving service throughout the City.
Absolute phrase: The
bus in our subdivision is a small community
shuttle so sometimes it feels intimate, like travelling with friends.
Appositive phrase:
Due to its size, sometimes the community shuttle feels claustrophobic unlike the full-size transit buses which
seldom feel closed in.
Infinite phrases: In
order to save money, I try to use public
transit rather taking a taxi when I go places.
In order to make sure I
have enough money to last as a full-time student I must keep tight rein on my
finances.
Having saved as much money
as I could I quit my job to concentrate on my studies.
