  1. Warm Up 2-27-2012 • PRONOUNS must always match the words they replace. For some writers, this rule poses problems with indefinitepronouns. Just remember that indefinite pronouns (words like anyone, everyone, someone, no one, nobody) are ALWAYS singular. For example, Everyone must bring his or her lunch to school. • Write a paragraph describing the ideal student dress code. Use ALL of the indefinite pronouns listed above.

  2. The mood of a story or passage is the general feeling it conveys. A story’s mood might be tense in one passage and light in another. Use the sentence below as the first line of a story, and then create six different second sentences, each of which creates a different mood. • Pierre sat quietly and stared out the window. Serene, Scary, Suspenseful? Warm Up 2-28-2012

  3. Warm Up 2-29-2012 Smart, Smarter, Smartest Most regular adjectives (like smart) can be modified by adding –er (smarter) or –est (smartest), depending on the degree of the comparison. Unmodified adjectives are in the positive degree, adjectives with the –er ending are in the comparative degree, and adjectives with the –est ending are in the superlative degree. For example, Many late-night comedians are funny (positive degree) David letterman is funnier (comparative degree) than Jay Leno, but Conan O’Brien is the funniest (superlative degree) of all. • Write a paragraph comparing members of your family. Use comparative and superlative adjectives, as well as any others that pop into your head: pretty, smart, kind, mean, old
