Before planting her flower beds the avid gardner waited for Easter.
1. The avid horticulturist waited for Easter before excitedly planting her flower beds.
Samantha: You just needed to change the subject noun here not rearrange the sentence. Check Tammy's answer, and you will see what is required;-)
Tammy: Good change;-)
2. The avid horticulturist waited for a first day of spring before excitedly planting her flower beds.
3. The avid horticulturist waited for a first day of spring before excitedly planting her tulips.
4. The dedicated horticulturist waited for a first day of spring before joyfully planting her tulips.
Irena: Ok--you have substitued a noun clause here which works well; just change "a" to "the";-)
Kelsey: Grammatically OK, but most people plant their tulips the previous fall;-)
Janine: You were left with a difficult task--Kelsey removed one the adjectives (flower)--and this has probably misled you into replacing an advderb as well as an adjective.
NEXT STUDENT: Please make change #6.
6. The avid gardener waited for Easter before excitedly setting her flower beds.
The avid greenskeeper waited for Easter before excitedly planting fer flower beds.
The avid greenskeeper waited for Easter before excitedly planting her flower beds.
Dejo and Samantha:You needed to make changes # 6 and 7 respectively (verb name and verb tense changes), and you needed to build on the previously changed sentence:"The dedicated horticulturist waited for a first day of spring before joyfully planting her tulips." Do you want to try again?
