“Phrases/Clauses, 11/12.”

  1. Copy on the middle of the line. (Notice that there is no punctuation.) I like llamas
  2. Add a PREPOSITIONAL PHRASE.
  3. Add a DEPENDENT  CLAUSE on one side.
  4. Add an INDEPENDENT CLAUSE to the whole thing. (What else do you have to do to do that?)
  5. Add PREPOSITIONAL PHRASE to the new independent clause.
  6. Punctuate as needed.

Czestochowa, Rudolph Valentino, gefilte fish, Nazi Invasion of Poland
