4 Grammar in Context: Using Participial Phrasesto Vary Sentence Structure Key Concept: Writers use participial phrases to provide detail and to vary sentence patterns. Using Participial Phrases to Vary Sentence Structure A participle is a verb form used as an adjective. A phrase that includes a participle isknown as a participial phrase. A participial phrase may precede or follow the nounor pronoun that it modifies. Good writers vary the placement of participial phrases tokeep sentence patterns interesting. Participial phrases are set off by commas. Same Sentence Structures: Peering through the blinds, Mrs. Wright commentedto her husband. Reading the newspaper, Mr. Wright pretended to listen. Varied Sentence Structures: Peering through the blinds, Mrs. Wright commentedto her husband. Mr. Wright, reading the newspaper, pretended to listen. Activity Underline the participial phrase in each sentence. Then rewrite the sentence with theparticipial phrase in a different position. 1. Adjusting the TV, George Wright prepared to watch the ball game. 2. Lillian Wright, wondering about her neighbors, decided to make a plan. 3. Staring at the cloud, Mrs. Sakkaro decided to go inside. 4. Lillian, greatly excited, greeted George jubilantly. 5. Calling to her husband, Mrs. Sakkaro asked about the weather. Page 2

For these forms, do not double the final consonant of the base words when you add the suffix: con-fer' con'fer-ence. A. Complete the following exercises. 1. A VAC word must have a final accented syllable. What happens to the final consonant when a suffix with a vowel is added? Write the words from the list that follow this pattern. 2. What happens to VAC words when the accent shifts with the addition of a suffix beginning with a vowel? Write the words that follow this pattern. 3. What happens to the final consonant of non-vac words ending in a vowel/consonant combination when a suffix beginning with a vowel is added? Write the words from the list that follow this pattern.

Drawing conclusions involves combining information that you have readwith first-hand knowledge from your own experiences. As you read Rain, Rain, GoAway, use the chart to jot down your conclusions about the Sakkaros. Note the clues from the story and the experiences you ve had that lead you to your conclusions.
