# 1 - Subject noun
The avid cultivator waited for Easter before excitedly planting her flower beds.
#2 Direct object noun
The avid cultivator waited for Easter before excitedly planting her flower seeds.
6.The happy cultivator held for Easter before comely planting her parsley seeds.
The happy cultivator will hold for Easter before comely planting her parsley seeds.
STEPHANIE: nicely done!
JULIE: good--you found it!
SAADAT:#3--no--that's an adjective.
#4--good that's the other adjective.
#5--"comely" is not an appropriate change.
#s 6 and 7: When you use the verb "hold" you know to change the following word.
NEXT STUDENT: Please make change number 5 based on change 4.
Based on:
# 4. The happy cultivator waited for Easter before excitedly planting her parsley seeds.
I would say, change 5 in adverb could be:
The happy cultivator waited for Easter before meticulously planting her parsley seeds.
Sorry Veronica,
6. The happy cultivator held till Easter before planting her parsley seeds.
7. The happy cultivator will hold till Easter before planting her parsley seeds.
INGRID:Good:-)
SAADAT: Yes, but you should have incorporated Ingrid's answer to #'s 6 and 7.
NEXT STUDENT: Please make change #6 based on Ingrid's sentence #5.
Thank you Veronica,
6.The happy cultivator held till Easter before meticulously planting her parsley seeds.
7. The happy cultivator will hold till Easter before meticulously planting her parsley seeds.
The happy cultivator looked for Easter before meticulously planting her parsley seeds.
SAADAT: That's better. In future, it's probably better if you give just one answer at a time--the way you have been doing it can be confusing for others when you make an error in the middle of the sequence of changes;-)
STEPHANIE: A good sentence, but you were supposed to start over by changing the subject noun;-)
