Sara: Good sentence, but that's not the subject noun;-)

Jiaping: Just one type of change to the sentence--the next student has to build on that. For that reason, I am deleting your other two posts. Wait for another student to change your sentence, and then you can make another change;-) Your first change is a good one.

Oops!I think we skipped the indirect object noun in the last post!

Veronica Baig said...

Bernie: Good
Seiko:that's another indirect object.
Kellym: Good
Nadia: Good
Sara: On your turn, you needed to change the direct object noun.
Bernie: That looks like 2 for the price of one;-)
Andra: Bernie is right about skipping the indirect object noun;-)
So far, great work--just try to keep the changes straight;-)

Bernie: Changing plural to singular isn't much of a change--that looks like half for the price of one!
Nadia: Good adverb change, but I thought this one should have been the adjective change;-)
Bernie: Looks like you're back to the indirect object.
Sara: Good verb tense change.
Everyone: Next week, I'll have to come up with a scheme to help you all keep track of the changes!
