Complete the following for each sentence below: Step 1: Put parentheses around all. of the prepositional phrases. Be sure to start with the preposition itself and then include the word or words that go with it. Remember that the subject and the predicate of a clause will NOT be found in a prepositional phrase.
Step 2: Highlight (using the Microsoft Word function) any dependent clauses. Some sentences have more than one. The best way to begin is to look for the dependent words (when, since, that, because, after..) and be sure they are followed by subjects and verbs.
Step 3: Make the subjects bold and underline the simple predicates in BOTH the independent and dependent clauses.
Example: Before she established her apiary, Tanesha learned what kinds (of flowers) grew (in the area).
1) When the dog started barking at the front door, Boris knew that his package had arrived.
2) A note that Olga wrote for her high school crush was hidden in the spine of her favorite novel.
3) Since we ordered a pizza yesterday, I think that we should eat vegetables today.
4) The smoke alarm went off because Malik burned the toast that he was making for breakfast.
5) It has been said that the ghost of the old woman always appears in the mirror at the end of the hallway at the stroke of midnight.
