Week 5 Admission Ticket

Week 4 Memory Work defines phrases and clauses. Students should come to class prepared to answer these three questions:

What is a phrase? (C3, W20)
A phrase is a group of words that does not contain both a subject and a verb, and may be used as a single part of speech.

What is a clause? (C3, W20)
A clause is a group of words that contains both a subject and a verb.

What is a dependent, or subordinate, clause? (C3, W22)
A dependent, or subordinate, clause does not express a complete thought and cannot stand alone.

Additionally, they should write and bring an original sentence containing a prepositional phrase. Examples follow:

During the day, I depend on Jesus.

When I am hungry, I sit at the table and eat.

Students who study hard do well in class.
