ugh..school.., =( Options

[chinke3xcuti3]

I missed TWO WHOLE weeks of school because I had amonia(sp?). Well, I came back to school today, and the teacher told us there was a test tomorrow on adjectives (hmm..weird). I thought, "this is going to be a piece of cake. ITS ADJECTIVES"..then i read the adjective study sheet..totally confusing..

The teacher expects me to know all of these stuff..she's like.."oh..you should already know this"...

I finished half or most of the sheet..but two sections kind of confuse me. Can anyone answer the questions (the teacher gave me two extra days to study....I usually understand the questions if they're answered....)

Okay..thanks

11. Many inventions have been useful to the food industry.

12. In a refrigerator, an apple remains tasty for a long time.

13. Thanks to canning, foods do not become spoiled.

14. Dried foods stay edible for a long time.

18. But a more recent invention is replacing the fasteners.

uhm thats not hard at all, adjectives just decribe something for example number 11 is "useful" because the wrd "useful" is describing the inventions for the food industry.

[*jooleeah*]

Sorry, but cB is not here to just give you answers. We'll help you though.

Btw, this topic isn't in the right forum. This belongs in "homework" under "interests".

Topic Moved to Homework.

Good luck on your test, though.

I believe the adjective predicate is the adjective that takes the place of a verb in the predicate section of a sentence. Linking verbs are verbs that do not represent action but connect the subject to a verb/adjective, for example, "is, are, turned, seems,"

Linking Verb Examples

Keila  is a shopaholic.

Ising isn't something that Keila can do. Is connects the subject, Keila, to additional information about her, that she will soon have a huge MasterCard bill to pay.

During the afternoon, my cats are content to nap on the couch.

Areing isn't something that cats can do. Are is connecting the subject, cats, to something said about them, that they enjoy sleeping on the furniture.

After drinking the old milk, Bladimiro turned green.

Turned connects the subject, Bladimiro, to something said about him, that he was needing Pepto Bismol.

A ten-item quiz seems impossibly long after a night of no studying.

Seems connects the subject, a ten-item quiz, with something said about it, that its difficulty depends on preparation, not length.

11.) "Many" is the predicate adjective. The word it modifies is "inventions" and the linking verb is "have"

[chinke3xcuti3]

ugh...i still dont understand....im kind of in a rush...i have to finish my history project, study the 50 states, the 50 capitals, the regions..i have to finish my science project (cell project)......i have to read 600 pages of a book (finish that by sunday)....im really busy...

but if you guys cant help..then close this topic, because i have to get off in like.......6 minutes..and i don't want to sit here trying to read terms i have NO idea what the f**k its talkin about...

edit//

11.) "Many" is the predicate adjective. The word it modifies is "inventions" and the linking verb is "have"

No, because "many" is not in the predicate part of the sentence--it is in the subject part. A predicate adjective is an adjective that occurs in the predicate ("after the verb") part of the sentence. In #11, "useful" is a predicate adjective: it is an adjective that occurs after the linking verb and modifies the subject.

Basically, a linking verb is a very that is not an action. Forms of "to be" (is, has been, etc.) are examples of linking verbs. The predicate adjective occurs after the linking verb but modifies the subject.

Generally answers aren't given out here; we're willing to help you learn, but not do the homework for you.

My description of linking verbs and predicate adjectives is accurate (I was, at one time, an English major after all ), but I'm not the greatest teacher, so I may have been a bit unclear; read my post and then if you have specific questions you would like clarified, feel free to post a more specific question.

[JoJo_x]

Wow....you guys stress it so much..just give her the answers..to satisfy her..she's gonna have to learn it somehow..sooner or later..shes just asking for the answers now, because shes in a rush, and is trying to catch up. she will have to learn how to solve these things for her test.

okay...

13. LV is become, PA is spoiled, and the word it modifies is food.

14. LV is stay, PA is edible, and the word it modifies is food

The homework section is for helping people with their homework, not for doing other people's homework. It says so in the forum rules. http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=58163 Please read them.

Eh, I don't think that works out very well. I agree with what Michael said, "Give a man a fish, feed him for a day; teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime."
