Modifiers

Modifiers are words, phrases, or clauses that provide description in sentences. Modifiers allow writers to take the picture that they have in their heads and transfer it accurately to the heads of their readers. Essentially, modifiers breathe life into sentences. Take a look at this "dead" sentence

Stephen dropped his fork

http://www.chompchomp.com/terms/clause.htm


Poor Stephen, who just wanted a quick meal to get through his three-hour biology lab, quickly dropped his fork on the cafeteria tray, gagging with disgust as a tarantula wiggled out of his cheese omelet, a sight requiring a year of therapy before Stephen could eat eggs again.


Modifiers can be adjectives, adjective clauses, adverbs, adverb clauses, absolute phrases, infinitive phrases, participle phrases, and prepositional phrases. The sentence above contains at least one example of each


Adjective = poor. Adjective clause = who just wanted a quick

meal. Adverb = quickly. Adverb clause = as a tarantula wiggled out

of his cheese omelet. Absolute phrase = a sight requiring a year

of therapy before Stephen could eat eggs again.

Infinitive phrase = to get through his three-hour biology lab.

Participle phrase = gagging with disgust. Prepositional phrase = on the cafeteria

tray.


Without modifiers, sentences would be no fun to read. Carefully chosen, well-placed modifiers allow you to depict situations with as much accuracy as words will allow


Phrasal Verbs

A phrasal verb is a verb plus a preposition or adverb which creates a meaning different from the original verb.

Example:I ran into my teacher at the movies last night. run + into = meetHe ran away when he was 15. run + away = leave home


Intransitive

Some phrasal verbs are intransitive. An intransitive verb cannot be followed by an object.

Example:He suddenly showed up. "show up" cannot take an object


Transitive

Some phrasal verbs are transitive. A transitive verb can be followed by an object.

Example:I made up the story. "story" is the object of "make up"


Separable/Transitive

4. Some transitive phrasal verbs are separable. The object is placed between the verb and the preposition. In this Phrasal Verb Dictionary, separable phrasal verbs are marked by placing a * between the verb and the preposition / adverb.

Example:I talked my mother into letting me borrow the car.She looked the phone number up.


Inseperable/Transitive

Some transitive phrasal verbs are inseparable. The object is placed after the preposition. In this Phrasal Verb Dictionary, inseparable phrasal verbs are marked by placing a + after the preposition / adverb.

Example:I ran into an old friend yesterday.They are looking into the problem
