Modifiers and Reporting Verbs
Many Korean students, even at advanced levels, often make mistakes in using modifiers and reporting verbs. However, modifiers and reporting verbs play a central role in English, adding more meaning to the main idea or showing clarity in the meaning. In this workshop, the instructor will first explain modifiers and types of reporting verbs with examples. Then, participants, in pair or group, will practice writing various sentences using modifiers and reporting verbs. This workshop is intended for intermediate levels.
