• I asked Mr. Hatzidais, my next door neighbor, about his hobby. He said he is interested in the American Elm, the tree outside his house. The biologist Mr. Finkle explained the disease to me later. Did you know that Dutch Elm Disease, a fungus, can spread from tree to tree?

Participial phrases

• Identify the participle or participial phrase. Then, tell the noun it is describing. Both parts must be correct to receive points.

• Listening to the radio, she heard her favorite dancing song. She was driving to school when, screaming with excitement, she heard it come on the entertaining radio. Having had a troubled morning, she cheered right up because of the outdated tune.

Gerund phrases

• Identify the gerund phrase. Then, tell how it is functioning. Both parts must be correct to receive points. Hint: Do not just say it is acting as a noun since gerunds always act as nouns.

• Having a snow day can sometimes be exciting, but it can also cause confusing schedule changes. For example, the due date for the paragraphs is moving. Ms. Mishriky had a lot of reworking to do. The students celebrated relaxing that day.

Infinitive phrases

• To make some money at a young age, a good idea is to walk dogs. To walk dogs can be a lucrative business to venture into around a city. First you will have to create some advertisements. You will also need to drive to the locations. In the end, it will be worth it because it can be a fulfilling task to do.
