Make-Up Work

While we are working on our individual assignments today, if you need (or think you need) any make-up/missing work, you may see me ONLY at that time

Remember, we will not be having a make-up work day, so you need to see me on your own time to receive your missing work

ALL work is due to me by next week Wednesday, 2/26

Grammar- Phrases & Clauses between Subjects & VerbsTake notes on p. 65, copy all

The number of a subject is not changed by a phrase or clause following the subject.

Example: The lights on the Christmas tree create a festive atmosphere.

The prepositional phrase on the Christmas tree does not affect the number of the subject lights.

Last one: Another example

The distance between the two posts is eight feet.

The prepositional phrase between the two posts does not affect the number of the subject distance.

Practice: Copy the following 5 sentences. Identify the subject in each sentence. Then, choose the form of the verb in parentheses that agrees with the subject. I will call on people after 10 minutes.

1. The launch of a space shuttle (attracts, attract) the interest of people throughout the world.

2. Our thermos, which is in the picnic basket, (is, are) filled with apple juice.

3. That collection of poems (is, are) Where the Sidewalk Ends.

4. The children of the world (needs, need) food and medicine.

5. The cucumbers in my garden (grows, grow) very quickly.
