Unit 4 - Writing Activity 2 - Phrases

In your journal, discuss any disadvantages to the place where you live and continue your sentence practice with noun and verb phrases. 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
Our family, who has been living in Taman Melawati for the past 35 years, is loathe to move elsewhere


Absolute phrase
Situated 8km from the city, this residential area is getting very populated.

Appositive phrase
Eager to cash in on the real estate boom, developers are building on every inch of available land.
