    Greetings!

    Please make one sentence each from the following sets of facts:

    1) A man: he's cynical/he's old/he's a bachelor/he's grizzled

    2) a boy: he owns a Schwinn bicycle/he's 10 years old/the bike is blue/it's a Christmas gift/it has three speeds

    3) Mary: she's a high school student/her hair is red/her hair is long/she lives on Maple Way/her hair is curly

    The point is to get the modifying phrases/clauses and adjectives in the correct order. If you succeed, please explain your reasoning!

    Thanks!

    From the seat of his blue 3-speed Schwinn, a Christmans gift, the 10 year old boy saw his 'hope'; Mary, the one from Maple street, with her long curly red locks, a sophmore, strolling alongside her cynical, grizzled old bachelor of an uncle.

    Hi CoCo!

    I have 5 different sentences for the first example.

    Why do I feel like I'm back in school, taking an exam?!

    Teacher, am I to use only the words given or are embellishments permitted?

    Please call on me; my hand is raised!

    The grizzled old man is a cynical bachelor!

    Cynicism was the middle name of this grizzled old bachelor.

    ok trying harder

    Freckles, red hair and 10 years of living all riding a blue 3 speed Schwinn he got for Christmas.

    Upon leaving high school, Mary stuffed her long red curls under a cap and hailed a cab home to Maple Way.

    Sorry CC, I have no idea if my nouns are modified correctly or not!
