Grammar Tasks
1. Decide why the italicized nouns are used with a, the, ø.
On a Sunday afternoon when Bertha was visiting her mother, he cut a hole through the steel bottom of the luggage compartment of his small dark-gray coupe.
He also bought three white-linen shirts and a red bow-tie, and paid cash for the lot.
In St. Paul he went to the small, clean Hotel Orkness, registered as “Mr. A.M. Romeo & wife,” asked for a room with a double bed, and explained to the clerk, “My wife is coming by train.”
They had all their meals in the room; they didn’t leave it till afternoon of the next day.
The air became a little close, thick from perfume and cigarette smoke and the bubble bath they took together.
They left the luggage at the foot of their bed, which she had made up.
He slipped the whisky bottle out of the paper bag and tenderly urged, “Take a swig of this. Keep your courage up.”
He switched on the tiny dashlight, he lifted up the book as though it were a bar of lead, and from Conrad Aiken’s “Sea Holly” he began to read to her.
Bertha drove him back to Grand Republic and nursed him while he was in bed, jeering to the harpies whom she had invited in, “Ally tried to – you know – with a woman, but he was no good, and he was so ashamed he tried to kill himself.”
2. Identify if the words in bold are forms of the Participle or the Gerund.
He tried to make up for the professional injustice by developing his personal glamour.
At forty-five he was bald, but the nobly glistening egg of his face and forehead, whose arc was broken only by a pair of Vay Li-Hi-Bifocals, was an adornment to all fund-raising rallies.
In these modern days, a woman can’t fritter away her time daydreaming.
She [Bertha] jeered in the soap-reeking presence of her seven sisters and sisters-in-law, all chewing gum and adjusting their plates that as a lover “Ally” had no staying-powers.
“Ally can’t even pick out a necktie without asking my help.”
From Goldenkrons’ he walked perkily to the Emporium, to the Golden Rule drug store, to the Cooperative Dairy, paying his bills in full at each.
But on Wednesday morning, after putting on the new suit at Goldenkrons’, he drove to St. Paul, through light snowflakes which he thought of as fairies.
Virga Vay arrived nineteen minutes later, with a bellboy carrying her new imitation-leather bag.
She took nothing from the room, and he nothing except a paper bag containing a bottle of Bourbon whisky, with the cork loosened, and a pocket anthology of new poetry.
He took his dark-gray coupe out of the hotel garage, tipping an amazed attendant one dollar, and they drove to Indian Mounds Park, overlooking the erratic Mississippi.
