(1)On any day of the week, I enjoy shopping at the mall. (2)Hoping to find the best deal, I stop in every store. (3) Jennifer, my best friend, always comes along. (4)While she prefers buying clothes, I purchase shoes. (5)“To shop is to live” is the motto we chant. Why is this better? 1. Begins with a prepositional phrase. 2. Begins with a verbal phrase 3. Begins with an appositive phrase and what it modifies 4. Begins with a dependent clause 5. Begins with an infinitive phrase

 It is rewording the subject › My husband, Eric, has dark hair. › Eric, my husband, has dark hair › My school, the Union 9 th Grade Center, is huge. › My job, teaching, makes me happy.
