ignore this topic, pretend it isn't here... I remember stuff better when I type it out and actually put it somewhere. If I just delete it, it dissapears...

okay so... grammar... review...


limiting adjective - an adjective that modifies a supstantive by telling which, whose, or how many.
descriptive adjective- an adjective that modifies a substantive by telling what kind of.

the position of an adjective that immediately follows the substantive it modifies- appositive (I can't even remember what a substantive is... *sigh*)

The position of an adjective that immediately follows the substantive it modifies - appositive (once again, that doesn't help me if I can't remember what a substantive is... )

okay, a substantive is any word or word group that functions as a noun.

that's easy... as long as I can remember...

[Silver]

I skipped #4-

the position of an adjective that follows a linking verb and modifies the subject.

I know this one... umm... umm....

predicate.

great now I feel stupid. I was thinking of something more complicated. *sigh*

[Silver]

The form of an adjective used to compare more than two items - superlative.
oh I love those lessons!! they're so easy!! it's like:

She is smart. She is smarter. She is smartest.

*sigh* it's hard to think when my mom's yelling at my sister for not being able to do 60 + 5. she keeps saying "50".

skipping ahead... yay I know what an infinitive is! to plus a verb!

and now a bunch of poetry stuff... alliteration, assonance, onomatopoeia, hyperbole, simile, metaphor, personification, etc.

[Silver]

okay! on to B!

Identify the adjectives in these sentences and tell whether each is limimting or descriptive. Also tell in which position it is.

((I'm so glad I'm using the teacher's book))

1. Jesus' twelve desciples became frightened. ((it's a.... Minnonite(sp?) book. and no I am not Minnonite.))

Jesus'-limiting, attributive
twelve-limiting, attributive,
frightened-descriptive, predicate.

this is not good. how do you tell if it's attributive or whatever? *sigh*

[Squiggles{Kelly}, Apparently it's because I'm not clever.]

Mennonite.

[Squiggles{Kelly}, Apparently it's because I'm not clever.]

isn't attributive like, an attribute? so it would be a trait, more or less.

[Silver]

adjective types!

Predicate - comes after linking verb and modifies subject (I drew a nice little diagram... lol)
Appositive - comes after the noun that it modifies
Positive - normal, like "she is good"
Comparative - "She is better"
Superlative - "She is best"
Appositive - Modifies without comparing (like "it is red" you can't say "it is redder" well actually you can, but... *sigh* you get my point...)
Attributive - comes before the noun it modifies
Partisiple - like "running" shoes. it's an adjective made out of a noun.

[jeeves...]

rachel... this isn'y bychance just a way of getting more posts without making it look like spam, is it? .... :P

[Squiggles{Kelly}, Apparently it's because I'm not clever.]

yeah, i thought the same thing, but honestly, i don't count it was spam if you put a little thought into what you're writing....>.<

[Squiggles{Kelly}, Apparently it's because I'm not clever.]

right, so then it would be like 'the cute boy'- 'cute' would be attributive.

[Silver]

This was more effective than emailing it to my friend... that's what I did to memorize trig functions and I've already forgotten them.

*looks suspiciously at Rachel*

[Silver]

this. is. so. not. fair!!!

I DON'T CARE IF I HAVE MORE POSTS THAN OTHER PEOPLE, OKAY????????

THIS WAS NOT TO GET MORE POSTS!!!

the only reason I was trying to get more posts than SARA was because you actually said you created the talking-to-yourself topic JUST TO GET MORE POSTS THAN ME.

[Silver]

btw, I'm not mad. Like Lunabell, I don't get mad.... usually.... I'm just talking in caps.

I never said that!!! If I did, I was joking. I only started spamming the talking to yourself topic bc you were spamming!

[Silver]

You did say that... I came on and you said something along the lines of

"Noooooooo Rachel I'm trying to get more posts than you!!!"

[Sara, Don't let things deceive you- this group is still alive ;-)]

Like I said, I was just joking. Seriously I have I life. I don't spend my time worrying about how many posts I have on Goodreads.

[Silver]

Have you read the Inheritence Cycle?

[Squiggles{Kelly}, Apparently it's because I'm not clever.]

Good lord, Rachel, you've tried some topic-changing approaches in the past, but that is by far the most blatant.

[Silver]

Yep :) especially since I know Sara has read it... I totally forgot we were in this eragon roleplay that died...

[Nightshade, I feel like a bad mod. :(]

ANYHOW! Can I delete this topic?

[Squiggles{Kelly}, Apparently it's because I'm not clever.]

the wrath of Rachel will come crashing down upon your head. but, by all means, do what you want. :P

[Silver]

I guess... I already took my grammar test, so...

[Nightshade, I feel like a bad mod. :(]

No, I meant AFTER she took the test! So... should I? Now that you've taken the test, I mean.

haha yeah, that's where I met you!

[Silver]

oh yeah.... when Genna was in the prison and your charrie was working for the evil guy and she was like "am I evil?" and Genna got her on her side...

[Nightshade, I feel like a bad mod. :(]

...

[♫Krista♫]

...

[Silver]

*sigh* And Ashmoon and I came up with this totally awesome plot, and then suddenly she was way too busy to come on the computer anymore... and her internet broke... and then she was able to come on again, but then she didn't come on again... maybe in the summer she'll come on...

[Silver]

I mean Susie... but I still think of her as Ashmoon... and I think she still thinks of me as Silverlight, lolz...

[Sara, Don't let things deceive you- this group is still alive ;-)]

lol I always call her ashmoon...

Yeah, Conor's person introduced me to Salazar & then Elspeth kept watching over Genna & singing & Salazar kept getting annoyed bc Elspeth was so stupid..

[Silver]

And genna was trying to make Elspeth feel better becuase she's such a nice person... lolz. poor genna. when she finally escaped she found her true love dead. Do you remember who she was going to fall in love with? and what was the plot with Mae and everybody? Legolas and Elspeth are already in love, but it was really weird because one minute Legolas was trying to get Genna to notice him and the next minute he's telling Elspeth "I love you" so... lolz

[Sara, Don't let things deceive you- this group is still alive ;-)]

haha yeah it was weird... now I'm getting all nostalgic... it was my first ever RP/group (not including GR librarians)

[Silver]

ugh... I'm too lazy to go to wiktionary.org so I'm just going to guess what nostalgic is. I would probably know if I heard it, I'm probably thinking the pronunciation incorrectly. Ellesmera roleplay was my favorite roleplay.

[Silver]

I MAY be on and off, I'm going to upload my confirmation pictures onto my computer.

[Silver]

nevermind, I only have 16.1 MB free on my hard drive (and you're supposed to have like 300 free) I can't even veiw the pictures.

My dad says tomorrow he'll try to free up some space on my hard drive. Maybe it would help if I deleted some of the emails I've recieved through the years... lolz

[Sara, Don't let things deceive you- this group is still alive ;-)]

Ok

Yeah, I've been in a couple since then but that one was so much fun!

[Marley, Will not go crazy. OR ELSE. -Sara]

.....what's grammar? Sigh. Someone needs to study. -points to self-

[Sara, Don't let things deceive you- this group is still alive ;-)]

Agreed :-P

[Marley, Will not go crazy. OR ELSE. -Sara]

Ha, like, I can't even remember the last time that we studied something like this. We just looka t history and look and books. I mean we did some last year, but it'd be cool to chill with adjectives again. :)

[Sara, Don't let things deceive you- this group is still alive ;-)]

I haven't done grammar since 8th grade but my mom always marks up my papers with my errors xP I rarely make grammar mistakes on my hw.

[Marley, Will not go crazy. OR ELSE. -Sara]

I still don't quite get the homeschooling thing.

But yeah, nada, well, sorta, prep for tests.

[Sara, Don't let things deceive you- this group is still alive ;-)]

What don't you get??

mhmm

[Marley, Will not go crazy. OR ELSE. -Sara]

What you like...do and stuff. (Marleyisallspecific)

[Sara, Don't let things deceive you- this group is still alive ;-)]

Umm... if you want I can send you to the site that I get my homework from??

[Marley, Will not go crazy. OR ELSE. -Sara]

Ha. Catholic Homeschooling? Always the crazy religious folk. :P Woo. Homeschool freak. (Don't be upset, you can always call me public school delinquent. ;P)

[Sara, Don't let things deceive you- this group is still alive ;-)]

Yess ;-) That's me!
I've always been encouraged to think for myself, though. I'm not Catholic just cuz it gets shoved down my throat.
Umm... you ARE a public school delinquent.
