Superb!
Great exercise! I sent it home to have my junior high-age daughter practice her active verbs.
Fantastic Cathy! Not only do I love the content, I love the way you presented it. Rock on!
Cathy, rewriting content really challenges me and I want to really get a handle on it. How/where can I get more help on this? I have lots of text to practice on but I don’t seem to be able to find the active verbs, so I must need more instruction. Please help!
Chere, you might look at this crash course in plain English. Also, while these revision exercises don’t focus specifically on verbs, you can see the effect that they have. Finally, the Grammar Girl provides good tips to tighten your writing.
Excellent and very informative
You made your point and how! Agree with your point. Love the way you’ve designed it. I doubt if I’ll ever forget it!
