follows these rules: begins with a relative pronoun, follows any noun, restrictive noun follows common noun, non restrictive follows proper noun commas are not supposed to be used(i guess this is supposed to be sentence pattern 15??)
here's the sentence: Mrs. Meger dislikes her projector remote. It works sometimes. She tossed it out the window.
How do I make this follow sentence pattern 15????
Sentence pattern 15 states that a relative pronoun should begin the sentence, followed by any noun. In order to rewrite the given sentences to follow this pattern, we can make the following changes:
Original sentences:
1. Mrs. Meger dislikes her projector remote.
2. It works sometimes.
3. She tossed it out the window.
Rewritten sentence in pattern 15:
1. The projector remote, which Mrs. Meger dislikes, works sometimes and she tossed it out the window.
Explanation of changes:
- In sentence 1, we start with a noun (the projector remote) and add a relative pronoun (which).
- We include the restrictive relative clause (which Mrs. Meger dislikes) to specify which projector remote is being referred to.
- In sentence 2, we combine it with the previous sentence to maintain the correct sentence pattern.
- In sentence 3, we also combine it with the previous sentence to maintain the correct sentence pattern.
- Commas are not used to separate the clauses in sentence pattern 15. Instead, we use the relative pronoun to connect the clauses.
By following these steps, we have now rewritten the given sentences to follow sentence pattern 15.
