In the tenth sentence _convoying whole fleets of ducks_
describes what? Does _convoying_ assert anything about the squadron? Change
it into a predicate verb. In the twelfth sentence find one word and two
phrases joined to _fretted_. _Clapping, crowing, tearing_, and _calling_,
in the thirteenth, all describe what? Notice that all the other words
following the subject go with these four. Find the three words that answer
the questions made by putting _what_ after _clapping, tearing, calling_.
What phrase tells the cause of crowing? The phrase _to enjoy the rich
morsel which he had discovered_ tells the purpose of what? _Which he had
discovered_ limits the meaning of what? The pronoun _which_ here stands for
_morsel_. _Which he had discovered_ = _He had discovered morsel_. Here you
will see a sentence has again been made a part of another sentence. Notice
that without _which_ there would be no connection.
TO THE TEACHER.--It may be well to let the pupils complete the examination
of the structure of the sentences above and point out nouns, verbs,
pronouns, adjectives, and adverbs.
It will be noticed that in the questions above we especially anticipate the
regular lessons that follow Lesson 27. This we do in all such "Exercises."
