which only ended up disappointing
viewers.

wise man opened
the door slowly.
4. I slept late since

2. with

3. With his face, sweat-streaked and

following sentences, using prepositional
phrases, verbal phrases, appositive
phrases, and absolute phrases. Then,
label the phrases you added.
1. The winning team ran onto the field
in pure excitement of their victory,
leading them into the championships!.
2. The newly elected president delivered
his speech, thanking all of the voters
across america for the opportunity to

3. The detective slowly opened the door,

4. I slept late, woke up in a groggy
mood, only to find out I was 3 hours late
