Adverb added—Soldiers obey orders quickly.
Phrase added—Soldiers obey orders quickly and without question.
Clause added—Soldiers obey orders quickly and without question because they are taught to do so.
Combining our enlarged subject and predicate we have the sentence:
The enlisted soldiers in the trenches, who are doomed to die, obey orders quickly and without question because they are taught to do so.
This is a complex sentence because it contains dependent clauses. We might add another independent clause and make of this a compound sentence. For example:
The enlisted soldiers in the trenches, who are doomed to die, obey orders quickly and without question because they are taught to do so, and this is patriotism.
Exercise 5
Enlarge the following simple subjects and simple predicates:
Men write.
Boys play.
People study.
The law rules.
Exercise 6
In the following poem underscore all of the dependent clauses. Determine whether they are noun, adjective or adverb clauses. Do you find any simple or compound sentences in this poem?
MEN! whose boast it is that ye
Come of fathers brave and free,
If there breathe on earth a slave,
Are you truly free and brave?
If ye do not feel the chain,
When it works a brother's pain,
Are ye not base slaves indeed,
Slaves unworthy to be freed?
Women! who shall one day bear
Sons to breathe New England air,
If ye hear without a blush,
Deeds to make the roused blood rush
Like red lava through your veins,
For your sisters now in chains,—
Answer! are you fit to be
Mothers of the brave and free?
Is true Freedom but to break
Fetters for our own dear sake,
And, with leathern hearts, forget
That we owe mankind a debt?
No! true freedom is to share
All the chains our brothers wear,
And, with heart and hand, to be
Earnest to make others free!
They are slaves who fear to speak
For the fallen and the weak;
They are slaves who will not choose
Hatred, scoffing, and abuse,
Rather than in silence shrink
From the truth they needs must think;
They are slaves who dare not be
In the right with two or three.
—Lowell.

LESSON 27
We have studied concerning the formation of derivatives by the addition of suffixes. Derivatives are also formed by the addition of prefixes. You remember that a prefix is a syllable which is placed before a simple word to form the derivative. Among the most common of these prefixes are in, un and mis. The prefix in used with an adjective or adverb means not; for example, insane means not sane; incorrect means not correct, etc.
The prefix in used with a noun means lack of; for example, inexperience means lack of experience; inability means lack of ability, etc.
In words beginning with m or p, in, meaning not or lack of, is changed to im. This is done for the sake of euphony. The n does not unite readily with the sound of m or p. So we do not say inmodest and inpartial, but immodest and impartial.
The prefix un, used with participles, means not; for example, unprepared means not prepared; unguarded means not guarded, etc.
The prefix un used with verbs, means to take off or to reverse; for example, uncover means to take off the cover; untwist means to reverse the process of the twisting.
The prefix un used with adjectives means not; for example, uncertain means not certain; uncommon means not common.
The prefix mis used with nouns or verbs, means wrong. For example, mistreatment means wrong treatment; to misspell means to spell wrong.
Add the prefix in to the nouns given in Monday's list; add the prefix in to the adjectives given in Tuesday's list; add the prefix im to the adjectives and nouns in Wednesday's lesson; add the prefix un to the participles and adjectives in Thursday's lesson; add the prefix un to the verbs in Friday's lesson, and add the prefix mis to the nouns and verbs in Saturday's lesson.
