An Exercise on Capitalization
1. They flew {to Sandorf, Alaska [#1] }. | 2. My brother goes {to Taylor Elementary School}. | 3. Elaine would like to go [#2] {to Tokyo, Japan} {in June}. | 4. A big pine tree is {in Mr. William's yard}. | 5. {In December}, many people have a pine tree (DO) {in their house} {for Christmas}. | 6. Billy lives {on Maple Street} {in Greenville}. | 7. Janet Johnson visited the National Museum (DO) {in Washington, D.C.} | 8. Mary Cassatt painted a picture (DO) named A Girl in a Big Hat. [#3] | Notes 2. Technically "to go" is a verbal (infinitive) that functions as the direct object of "would like," but until students get to KISS Level 2.1.6, I would accept the verb phrase as marked above. 3. "A Girl in a Big Hat" is a retained complement after the verbal (gerundive) "named." The gerundive phrase functions as an adjective to "picture." |
