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.

Veronica Baig said...

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.

Saadat said...

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.

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;-)
