Exercise 4

Note all the co-ordinate and subordinate conjunctions in the following verses from "The Ballad of Reading Gaol." Underscore the subordinate clauses. Are they adverb or noun clauses? Do the co-ordinate conjunctions connect words, phrases or clauses?

I know not _whether_ Laws be right, Or _whether_ Laws be wrong; All that we know who lie in gaol Is _that_ the wall is strong; _And that_ each day is like a year, A year whose days are long.

_But_ this I know, _that_ every Law That men have made for Man, _Since_ first Man took his brother's life, _And_ the sad world began, But straws the wheat _and_ saves the chaff With a most evil fan.

This too I know--_and_ wise it were _If_ each could know the same-- _That_ every prison that men build Is built with bricks of shame, _And_ bound with bars _lest_ Christ should see _How_ men their brothers maim.

With bars they blur the gracious moon, _And_ blind the goodly sun: _And_ they do well to hide their h.e.l.l, _For_ in it things are done That son of G.o.d _nor_ son of Man Ever should look upon!

In Reading gaol by Reading town There is a pit of shame, _And_ in it lies a wretched man Eaten by teeth of flame, In a burning winding sheet he lies, _And_ his grave has got no name.

_And_ there, _till_ Christ call forth the dead, In silence let him lie: No need to waste the foolish tear, _Or_ heave the windy sigh: The man had killed the thing he loved, _And so_ he had to die.

_And_ all men kill the thing they love, By all let this be heard, Some do it with a bitter look, Some with a flattering word, The coward does it with a kiss, The brave man with a sword.

--_Oscar Wilde_.

SPELLING

LESSON 21

In Lesson No. 17 we studied concerning abstract nouns derived from qualifying adjectives. We found that we formed these nouns expressing quality from adjectives that describe quality by the addition of suffixes.

Adjectives may likewise be formed from nouns and also from verbs by the addition of suffixes. There are a number of suffixes which may be used to form adjectives in this way; as, _al_, _ous_, _ic_, _ful_, _less_, _able_, _ible_, _ary_ and _ory_. Notice the following words: nation, _national_; peril, _perilous_; reason, _reasonable_; sense, _sensible_; custom, _customary_; advise, _advisory_; hero, _heroic_; care, _careful_, _careless_.

To some words, more than one suffix may be added and an adjective of different meaning formed; for example, use, _useless_, _useful_; care, _careless_, _careful_.

Make as many adjectives as you can from the nouns and verbs given in the spelling lesson for this week by the addition of one or more of the following suffixes:

_Al_, _less_, _ous_, _ic_, _ful_, _able_, _ible_, _ary_, _ory_, and _ly_.
