Step 1:
Go back to grammar #19. Look at my comments. Correct your mistakes, if there are any. Then copy what you wrote there.
Step 2:
Paste your paragraph as a comment here. Rewrite the paragraph by reducing those clauses which can be reduced to phrases according to the rules I showed you in class today?
Remember! Adjective clauses can be reduced to phrases only under certain conditions.
Review my powerpoint or look in your book, chapter 13, to review the conditions!
My ideal wife is someone has good mind on her heart and can advice to me when I go wrong way.
ReplyDeleteShe is the woman has optimistic mind always.
My ideal woman is the wise who solve everything with communicaton.
Remember, you can only reduce clauses under certain conditions. Please review the conditions and see whether these apply!
DeleteI didn't get the point. What should I do?
ReplyDeleteFirst do grammar #19.
DeleteAfter that, I want you to rewrite that paragraph here, but this time, reduce any adjective clauses (that can be reduced) to adjective phrases.
Ex: My ideal man is someone who is willing to listen to me go on and on and on and on about my problems.
My ideal man is someone willing to listen to me go on and on and on and on about my problems.
My ideal women is independent, intelligent and romantic. She is humorous, and elegant , charming and easy going. The women i like is supportive in difficult moment. She must have a kindness which is like Santa Claus. My ideal women hates credit cards.
ReplyDeleteThe ideal women is the one that you love.
(As I told you today), don't take out the noun which you're modifying (someone/a woman/one). Rather, see if you can reduce an adjective clause according to our rules.
DeleteExample:
My ideal woman is someone who is willing to take risks.
My ideal woman is someone willing to take risks.
