Directions: 1. Fix the apostrophe problem in each sentence. 2. After each sentence, rewrite the phrases with apostrophes as phrases. For example, "He'll be here soon" would be "He will be." 3. Place parentheses ( ) around each prepositional phrase. 4. Underline every verb twice, its subject(s) once, and label complements ("PA," "PN," "IO," or "DO"). 5. Place brackets [ ] around each subordinate clause. If the clause functions as a noun, label its function. If it functions as an adjective or an adverb, draw an arrow from the opening bracket to the word that the clause modifies. 6. Place a vertical line after each main clause. 1. Why, its on the tip of your tongue. It ought to be, it must be, Ill swear its
there.
2. "Ten oclock, sir," said the man at the tavern, whom he had charged to wake
him--"ten oclock, sir."
3. Couldnt you tell her what you had to tell her, without frightening her to
death?
4. I dont suppose anything about
it but what Ladybird tells me.
5. Youve been at Doctor Manettes house as much as I have, or more than
I have.
6. If you doubt it, ask Stryver,
and hell tell you so.
7. I dont want dozens of people who are not at all worthy of Ladybird,
to come here looking after her.
8. Well, I dont know all I mean, for I cant call to mind what your name was,
over the water.
9. Such a present of plate as you have made em, is enough to bring tears into
anybodys eyes.
10. I dont care about fortune: she is a charming creature, and I have made up my mind to please myself: on the whole, I think I can afford
to please myself.
