OpenStudy (anonymous):

It can't be the first and last one for sure.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you think it's a question or just a statement?

OpenStudy (tjbrew):

remember you join two complete sentence with a coordinating conjunction like and, so, nor, or then you have too end the sentence with the4 correct punctuation...

OpenStudy (tjbrew):

*sentence should be sentences

OpenStudy (tjbrew):

My mom is concerned about my grades because she feels that I have not been studying enough lately. Rewrite the sentence above so that it is punctuated correctly. My mom is concerned about my grades, because she feels that I have not been studying enough lately. My mom is concerned about my grades because she feels that, I have not been studying enough lately. This sentence is punctuated correctly and does not need to be rewritten. My mom is concerned about my grades because, she feels that I have not been studying enough lately.

OpenStudy (smart8thgrader):

I think it's A

OpenStudy (tjbrew):

Are there any coordinating conjunctions before any of the comas? And "because" is an adverb not a coordinating conjunction!! ;)

OpenStudy (smart8thgrader):

Then it's D

OpenStudy (smart8thgrader):

@GracieBugg

OpenStudy (tjbrew):

you can't put a coma just any place...I will give you that it is a long sentence but no coma is necessary.

OpenStudy (smart8thgrader):

OH it's C then

OpenStudy (tjbrew):

Yes - This sentence is punctuated correctly and does not need to be rewritten.

Russian space officials confirmed Tuesday that 'NSync singer Lance Bass will be training at the Star City cosmonaut complex for the next month, and that talks are continuing on a deal to send him to the international space station. If the deal goes through the adventure would be chronicled in a TV series. In order to be punctuated correctly, how must the underlined sentence above be rewritten? If the deal goes through, the adventure would be chronicled in a TV series. If, the deal goes through, the adventure would be chronicled in a TV series. This sentence is punctuated correctly and does not need to be rewritten. If the deal goes through; the adventure would be chronicled in a TV series.

OpenStudy (smart8thgrader):

I do not think I am capable making a guess for this question so I will just let you explain it to me

OpenStudy (tjbrew):

So here is the rule...when you take a dependent clause and put it in front then you have to put a comma after it. But if you leave it at the end of the sentence no punctuation is necessary for ex. .The adventure would be chronicled in a TV series if the deal goes through.

OpenStudy (smart8thgrader):

so A

Eighth Grade Week includes the following bowling, a dance a visit to a theme park, and movie, night. What is the best way to rewrite this sentence? Eighth Grade Week includes the following, bowling, a dance a visit to a theme, park, and movie, night. Eighth Grade Week, includes the following bowling, a dance, a visit to a theme park, and movie, night. Eighth Grade Week includes the following: bowling, a dance a visit to a theme, park, and movie, night. Eighth Grade Week includes the following: bowling, a dance, a visit to a theme park, and movie night.

OpenStudy (tjbrew):

Yes!!

OpenStudy (tjbrew):

So when you have a list of things in a row, you use a colon after following followed by your list separated by comas.

OpenStudy (tjbrew):

So which do you think?

OpenStudy (smart8thgrader):

I am not sure:(((

OpenStudy (tjbrew):

Which one follows the rule I explained?

OpenStudy (tjbrew):

Look carefully

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Since it says "includes the following", it needs a colon.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In the third one, does "a dance a visit to a theme, park," seem right to you?

OpenStudy (tjbrew):

@FuyukoHarayo the answer is - Eighth Grade Week includes the following: bowling, a dance, a visit to a theme park, and movie night

OpenStudy (tjbrew):

@FuyukoHarayo you have to have a coma after dance as well.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know. I was asking if it sounded right to the asker. (I know the sentence wasn't right, of course.)
