Sentence, Clause, Phrase Manipulation

This category is distinctive in that respondents are working with and manipulating full phrases, clauses, and sentences, not just single words or parts of speech. Students will be required to change either all or part of the phrase, clause or sentence. This type of activity may involve the addition or deletion of information according to directions, correction of the phrase, clause or sentence, alteration of the form of the phrase, clause or sentence (e.g., restating passive sentences as active sentences), or the combination/separation of the phrases, clauses or sentences.
