VOCABULARY/GRAMMAR
We also have a participle clause in our last sentence:
By adopting this
disciplined and purposeful routine…
This participle clause also functions as an adverbial phrase because I used the
preposition ‘by’, explaining how the action in the main clause is achieved.
Finally, we saw another common construction of a cleft sentence:
All I hope is
that I outdo my previous accomplishments each day as I embrace life with
unwavering determination.
