Draw vertical lines to identify the slot boundaries

Reference no: EM131036846

I am generally good with grammar, but these types of problems I have not attempted since high school. I have tried to work a few on my own, doing tons of research as a refresher, but I am not certain it is helping. I found a link for the pattern requirements in the assignment, which may assist here.

Part 1 of the assignment requested that we "Draw vertical lines to identify the slot boundaries in the following sentences; label each slot with its form and function. In parentheses at the end of the sentence, identify its sentence pattern". So, there are three parts required: form, function, pattern. I attempted several of these on my own before seeking assistance. I don't know if my efforts will show clearly in this forum, but I hope it will be obvious.

1. After several weeks / on the job / Michael and Nicole / became / great / friends. (V) prep ph prep ph NP Lnk vb adj N prep ph prep ph Comp Sub pred vb subj comp subj comp

2. The librarian / found / me / a brochure and three additional articles. (VIII) NP transV N2 NP3

3. Eager sunbathers / crowded / the beaches / during / the first warm days in April. (IX)

19. The IRS / looked / into the matter. (VII) NP1 trans v NP2
Subject pred vb DO

20. Too many people make money their primary interest. ( )

Part 2 of our assignment requests we break the verb into strings. I have never even attempted this before, so this is completely new. As with Part 1, I made an effort prior to seeking assistance.

1. The students were studying in the lunchroom past progressive + be + -ing + study

2. I have finally found my lost mitten perfect present +

3. I lost it on the first day of classes past perfect + lost

4. Sheila has been skipping classes again

5. She could be in big trouble

6. My hard drive crashed Monday simple past + -ed + crash

7. Chris certainly seems happy in his new office simple present + -ed + happy

8. He will probably be having a party this Monday past progressive + be + -ing + have

9. My roommate may be graduating after only 2 years future progressive + be + -ing + graduate

10. I should have studied longer for this test past + be + -ed + study
If any of these are incorrect, I really need to know. Also, need help sorting through these.
