WEEK 5
-ly Adverbs, Prepositions, Your/You’re
-ly Adverbs (ly)
Many adverbs end in -ly. Look for them this week and mark them with an ly. The -ly word is another Excellence in Writing dress-up.
Notice the -ly adverbs in this sentence: “The strikingly tall stranger vigorously walked toward Robin.”
The first one (strikingly) modifies an adjective, and the second one (vigorously) modi es a verb.
Prepositions (prep)
Prepositional phrases are words that tell the position of something.For example, under the table, near the door, and over the mantle are all prepositional phrases.
Prepositional phrases always begin with a preposition and end with a noun.
Notice that the prepositional phrase includes both a preposition and a noun, but no verb.
To help you remember this, think “preposition + noun, no verb.”
Thus, whenever you see a preposition in the passage, write prep above it. In order to see the prepositional phrase better, underline the entire phrase like this:
In the morning the dog barked. The cat slept under the table.
Your/You’re
This week you have another homophone: the possessive your and the contraction you’re.
___________________________________
WEEK 5
Choose end marks to follow away and leader. Think about where to place the last mark of punctuation in relation to the closing quotation marks.
affronted by there/their/they’re mockery, robin challenged the foresters. see that herd
of deer over there/their/they’re more then/than sixty yards away i bet you twenty pounds i can hit the leader
then/than robin composedly took his bow in his hand grabbed an arrow and drew the
feather to his ear. the next moment an arrow sped down the glade and shot the noblest buck of the herd
all the foresters were filled with rage, but the one who lost the wager seethed the most
Hint: In the passage below look for the NDA (noun of direct address).
the loser heatedly responded, fool you have killed the king’s deer, which is a capital offense. by law, your/you’re ears should be shaven___________________________________
WEEK 6
Dress-Ups: Quality Adjectives and -ly Adverbs
This week you will have an opportunity to practice what you have learned so far.
Continue to use the abbreviations. Remember, a mistake is an opportunity to learn.
Dress-Ups
We have reviewed three of the IEW dress-ups: strong verb, quality adjective, and -ly adverb.
To practice identifying the dress-ups, review the following passages and choose the strongest verbs, adjectives, and -ly adverbs. Remember that the words you count as dress-ups in your own writing should be strong ones.

WEEK 6
impulsively, the forester sprang to his feet armed his bow with an arrow and sent it
whistling after robin
robin hood was fortunate that the forester was drunk with ale because the arrow narrowly missed him, but his hot-blooded opponent immediately reached for a second arrow
in self-defense, young robin returned an arrow to the forester. it struck him, and he toppled forward with a cry
robin hood hastened away. his heart was sick within him, for it was now borne upon him
that he had killed a man
