3 Test Review The following slides go over the information you should study and review as you prepare for the Quarter One Exam. Practice examples, similar to actual test questions, are given with answers on separate slides. I encourage you to do the practice examples BEFORE you look at the answers!
4 Subject Pronouns & Object Pronouns SUBJECT PRONOUNS I you he, she, it we you they OBJECT PRONOUNS me you him, her, it us you them On the test, you will be given a sentence with an underlined subject pronoun or object pronoun. You will be required to identify the pronoun as a subject pronoun or object pronoun. EX: He wrote the story. (You will label this subj for subject pronoun since the pronoun is the subject of the sentence.)
5 Practice Examples: Identify each underlined subject pronoun or object pronoun. Then, write obj for object pronoun or write subj if it is a subject pronoun. 1. He will tell you story about three characters in mythology. 2. They are named Daphne, Apollo, and Cupid. 3. Apollo loved Daphne, but Daphne did not love him. 4. The malice of Cupid caused the dissention between them. 5. Apollo said, Cupid s arrows are not worthy weapons for me.

Apollo loved Daphne, but Daphne did not love him. 4. The malice of Cupid caused the dissention between them. 5. Apollo said, Cupid s arrows are not worthy weapons for me.

People watch Arachne and admire her work. They tell her, Pallas Athena must have taught you. 5. Athena and Arachne enter into a contest. The people watch the two of them.

He shows a serious lack of concentration. 3. The catcher ran very quickly. 4. She seems quite agile. 5. She caught the ball. Linking verb or action verb? If the verb is one of the 12 linking verbs that can also be used as action verbs, remember to test it by replacing it with is or are. If the sentence maintains its original meaning after the substitution, then you have a LINKING VERB. If the sentence no longer makes sense, then you have an ACTION VERB! 6. Their team had defeated the last team.
10 Practice Examples: Underline the verb or verb phrase in the following sentences. Then, label each verb as an action verb (AV) or a linking verb (LV). LV 1. Our pitcher appears very nervous today.

12 Practice Examples: Identify the underlined word as an adjective or adverb. Then, draw an arrow from the adjective or adverb to the word it modifies (describes). 1. Our pitcher appears very nervous today. 2. He shows a serious lack of concentration. 3. The catchers ran very quickly. 4. She seems quite agile. 5. The pitcher was a good hitter.
