Grammar Week 16
A. For #1-7, each sentence has at least one dependent clause. Underline the subject once and the verb/verb phrase twice. Circle each dependent clause, and above the circle, write ADJ (adjective), ADV (adverb), or N (noun) to identify its type.
1. An eponym refers to a person’s name that is used to name something else. 2. Words that are named after people make me curious about the people. 3. It wasn’t hard for me to figure out where the word curie came from. 4. Clearly, curie, which means “a unit of radioactivity,” is named after the scientist, Madame Curie. 5. When I came across the word faraday, I learned that it was named after Michael Faraday. 6. Since a faraday is a measure of electricity, I figured that Mr. Faraday must have been a scientist. 7. Everyone can guess what was named after the Earl of Sandwich.
B. For #8-10, rewrite each sentence, adding a clause that fits the description in parentheses. Change words in the original sentence as needed. Finally, label the clause.
