J. Evaluation of Learning

Grammarian for a Day

Scan the paragraphs below. Underline all the
pronouns used by the author. Then, pick at least five
(5) sentences with pronouns to rewrite the statements
and make the pronouns reflexive. Make sure these
pronouns reflect the subject of the sentence.

It is said that Daedalus was the first to conceive

masts and sails for ships for the navy of Minos,
helping Crete become a naval power. The statues he
carved were so exquisite, they looked as if they were
alive. It is said that they would have escaped were it
not for the chain that bound them to the palace wall.
Daedalus also constructed a wooden cow for the
queen to hide in to satisfy her amorous longings for a
white bull sent by Poseidon.
When the dreadful Minotaur was born, Daedalus built
the Labyrinth to contain the monstrous half-man,
half-bull. For years, Minos demanded a tribute of
youths from Athens to feed the creature as punishment
for the accidental killing of his son while he was
visiting Athens.
Eventually, the Athenian hero, Theseus, came to Crete
to attempt to slay the Minotaur. Princess Ariadne,
daughter of King Minos and Queen Pasiphae, fell in
love with Theseus and Asked Daedalus to help him.
Daedalus gave her a flaxen thread for Theseus to tie to
the door of the Labyrinth as he entered, and by which
he could find his way out after killing the monster.
Theseus succeeded, and escaped Crete with Ariadne.
