1) It was Saturday morning. (2) I checked the time on my phone: 3:55 a.m. (3) Then, suddenly, I heard thunder in the distance and, unfortunately, so did our dog that was in bed with us. (4) I sighed because I did want to keep sleeping for a bit, but our dog had already started trembling. (5) I knew that it would keep my wife up so I went ahead and got out of bed. (6) I said ‘hello’ to our other dog (who was ready to go outside for a quick walk), turned on our deck light and opened the door. (7) He immediately shot out, unphased by the rain, while our other dog trembled, afraid to go out. (8) I sighed and thought to myself, Hmmm…I wonder where you’re going to pee inside the house, today.
#2 First, identify and defend a sentence where the word ‘sleepily’ could be used to describe the verb. Then, identify and defend a sentence where the word ‘sleepily’ could NOT be successfully input.
Sentence where 'sleepily' could be used: "I checked the time on my phone sleepily, not fully awake yet."
In this sentence, 'sleepily' can be used to describe the verb 'checked', as it shows that the action was done in a drowsy or sleepy state.
Sentence where 'sleepily' could not be successfully used: "He immediately shot out, unphased by the rain, while our other dog trembled, afraid to go out sleepily."
In this sentence, 'sleepily' does not fit as it doesn't make sense to describe the action of being afraid to go out as being done in a sleepy way.
