I. Mechanics<br />
A. Regular and irregular past tense verbs<br />
Follow the rules in chapter 14, section III and write these verbs in the<br />
past tense: start, peel, heat, chop, whip, scoop, pour, cover, top. Use<br />
the list of irregular verbs in the appendix in the back of the book to write<br />
these verbs in the past tense: have, take, cut, put, set<br />
B. Using a comma after a subordinate clause<br />
A clause that begins with a subordinate conjunction (such as before,<br />
after, when, while, until) is called a subordinate clause. If the subordinate<br />
clause comes first in a sentence, you must separate it from the<br />
main clause with a comma. Study these examples:<br />
Before you eat a banana, peel the skin off.<br />
subordinate clause (comma) main clause<br />
Peel the skin off before you eat a banana.<br />
main clause (no comma) subordinate clause<br />
Copy the sentences, and make all the corrections that are necessary.<br />
Use commas, and use capital letters when they are needed.<br />
1. before you begin have everything ready<br />
2. peel the banana before you cut it<br />
3. after you cut the banana put it in a dish<br />
4. heat the chocolate sauce until it boils<br />
5. while it s heating take out the ice cream<br />
6. when you scoop out the ice cream make little round balls<br />
7. put the ice cream on the banana before you pour the sauce<br />
8. when the chocolate sauce is hot pour it over the ice cream<br />
9. whip some cream until it is stiff<br />
