WRITE ABOUT….”
Make sure that each sentence has a subject and a verb and
expresses a complete thought!!!!!!!
Make sure that you do NOT CONNECT TWO SENTENCES WITH A COMMA
OR WITH NOTHING AT ALL – this is called a FUSED SENTENCE OR A RUN ON!!!!
Make sure that you capitalize all proper nouns, and the
beginning of each sentence.
Make sure that you use an apostrophe with possessions!!! It
is: David’s mother NOT David mother!!!!
Please do not use apostrophes with third person verbs. It is
"He sleeps." NOT "He sleep’s."
Please do not write: "Bill Shakespeare was a great writer he
wrote the play Romeo and Juliet." WRONG!!!! Correct: "William Shakespeare was a
great writer WHO wrote the play Romeo and
Juliet."
(Remember that
we went over adjective clauses and relative pronouns just a few days ago. If
you don’t remember, go over your Act lV Vocabulary packet.)
