2. A Gaggle of Adjectives! • Adjectives are not limited in how many can be used with a noun to modify it as in the big black frightening curly bear. These adjectives follow an order pattern when two or more are used together. There is no written rule but just common usage. • Examples: the second three days, both his friends. You would not say three second the days or his both friends. • Instructions: Because many words can be both pronouns and adjectives depending on how they are used in a sentence, decide if the italicized words are pronouns or adjectives in the following sentences. Remember that pronouns stand alone, but adjectives are used to modify nouns. • 1. Do either of you have any of this material. Any amount would help. • 2. Each girl did her chores, and their mother gave each a hug. • 3. This is our answer, and no one disagrees. • 4. Both have many chances to play, but neither one is better. • 5. What is your name because neither of us knows it?

3. Direct Objects…Again! • Instructions: Find the subjects, verbs, and direct objects in these sentences. • 1. The worker sanded and painted the bookcase. • 2. The cat chased and caught the mouse. • 3. Mike wrapped and sent the package. • 4. Mother cooked and served the meal to everyone at the party. • 5. The cowboy rode and broke the wild horse.

4. Commas and Addresses • Mechanics - Punctuation - Commas • Use a comma after the parts of an address. (The house number and street name form one part, and state and ZIP code number form one part.) Example: My new address is 1234 North Main, Salt Lake City, Utah 84007. • Place no comma after the last part if it ends the sentence. • Instructions: Place commas where they are needed in these sentences. • 1. John wrote to me from 462 Beacon Lane Cleveland Ohio 76504. • 2. My sister lives at 635 Cherry Street Lexington Kentucky. • 3. Ray Alber 876 Elm Drive Detroit Michigan 48300 is the person to contact. • 4. Write them at 15 Oak Avenue Limorick Illinois 60614 today. • 5. Jim's summer address will be Box 254 Grantsville Iowa 50689.
