participant 3 could then write "#3 Indirect Object Noun: Michael hurriedly told the bad joke to his wife";

etc.


You are free to make as many changes as you wish. Just remember to number each change (and indicate the part of speech) so it is clear to everyone where we are on the list.

When all 7 changes have been made, return to the top of the list and continue.


Here is the sentence:


The judge angrily handed down a long sentence to the unrepentant criminal.

Well done! But I don't think you can hand down a long "verdict" -- which is just a decision.
