Write a two- to three-paragraph (at least 200 words) personal experience essay in which you use: all eight classes of pronouns: personal, demonstrative, relative, indefinite, intensive, reflexive, interrogative, and reciprocal. underline and label one example of each type. at least one sentence containing parallel structure. underline the parallel elements and identify their grammatical type. at least one sentence with an introductory modifying phrase properly related to the sentence that follows. underline the introductory modifying phrase and identify its grammatical type.

Ican get you started. the first logical way in which to start is with the modifying phrase. for example, you can begin your essay by saying something like: as a person who lives in roanoke, virginia, i like to take hikes in the mountains (or whatever it is that you like to do). this phrase, alone begins with a modifier (as a person) and includes the relative pronoun who. it also includes the personal pronoun i. as far as parallel structure is concerned, you could say something like: i like to take hikes and to look at the fall leaves. it would be incorrect to say: to take hikes and look at fall leaves. so, the correct parallel structure is writing to hike and to look. if you go on to write: this (demonstrative pronoun) is something that (also demonstrative) is popular among tourists. few (indefinite pronoun) bring as much tourist dollars into our (possessive pronoun) area as do these two things. after all, who ( in this case; an interrogative pronoun) doesn't like mountains or fall leaves? the above example addresses personal, relative, indefinite, interrogative, demonstrative and possessive pronouns, as well as parallel structure. the remaining necessary pronouns are: intensive (add emphasis to the subject and end in -self or -selves, i.e. myself), and reflexive pronouns (these also end in -self or -selves, but in this case involve words such as herself or yourself).  following the above examples, try putting this in your own words. remember, when writing a paragraph you need an opening statement, at least two or more supporting details, and a closing statement. this means, in the above example, you could write one paragraph addressing hiking and looking at fall leaves, and two more paragraphs addressing each activity individually. give it a try, and let me know how it turns out. i am available for online tutoring is you need additional assistance. good luck.
