II. Rewrite these sentences beginning with the words/phrases given

Now we need to rearrange jumbled words into meaningful sentences.

---

6. There / a / house / park / front / is / of / in / my

Words: There, a, house, park, front, is, of, in, my

Let’s find the subject and structure.

- "There is" is a common phrase.
- "a house" is the subject.
- "in front of my park" is likely the location.

So:
→ There is a house in front of my park.
✔ *Correct order.*

---

7. bookstores / there / the / three / opposite / museum / Are/?

Words: bookstores, there, the, three, opposite, museum, Are, ?

Starts with "Are", so it's a question.

"Are there..." is a common question form.

"Three bookstores" = plural noun.

"Opposite the museum" = location.

So:
→ Are there three bookstores opposite the museum?
✔ *Correct question form.*

---

8. big / grandparents' / is / a / behind / my / yard / There / house

Words: big, grandparents', is, a, behind, my, yard, There, house

Starts with "There", so: "There is..."

"a big house" = subject
"behind my grandparents' yard" = location

So:
→ There is a big house behind my grandparents' yard.
✔ *Correct structure.*

---

9. mountains / of / to / town / are / the / the / left / There

Words: mountains, of, to, town, are, the, the, left, There

Starts with "There"

"are" comes after "There" → "There are..."

"the mountains" = subject
"to the left of the town" = prepositional phrase

So:
→ There are the mountains to the left of the town.
✔ *Note: "the mountains" is fine if referring to specific ones.*

Alternatively: There are mountains to the left of the town.
But since "the" appears twice, and both are used, we keep them.

Best: There are the mountains to the left of the town.
(Implies specific mountains)

---

10. in / her / and / Alice / aunt / the / city / lives / with / uncle

Words: in, her, and, Alice, aunt, the, city, lives, with, uncle

Subject: Alice
Verb: lives
With whom? "with her aunt and uncle"
Where? "in the city"

So:
→ Alice lives in the city with her aunt and uncle.
✔ *Correct order and grammar.*
