LESSON 33. SENTENCE-BUILDING.

Previous

Re-write the following sentences, changing the italicized words into equivalent phrases.

+Model+.—A golden image was made.
An image of gold was made.

You will notice that the adjective golden was placed before the subject, but, when changed to a phrase, it followed the subject.

1. The book was carefully read. 2. The old soldiers fought courageously. 3. A group of children were strolling homeward. 4. No season of life should be spent idly. 5. The English ambassador has just arrived. 6. That generous act was liberally rewarded.

Change the following adjectives and adverbs into equivalent phrases, and employ the phrases in sentences of your own building.

Wooden, penniless, eastward, somewhere, here, evening, everywhere, yonder, joyfully, wintry.

Make a sentence out of the words in each line below.

Boat, waves, glides, the, the, over.
He, Sunday, church, goes, the, on, to.
Year, night, is dying, the, the, in.
Qualities, Charlemagne, vices, were alloyed, the, great, of, with.
Indians, America, intemperance, are thinned, the, out, of, by.
