Any correction you're sure of?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you ask Arianna Fox if we can borrow her chairs, and I'll bring over my recliner.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There is something pretty obvious. Look harder.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there shouldn't be a comma between chairs and "and"?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Incorrect.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

"you ask Arianna Fox if we can borrow her chairs" Anything you see now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no. I'm really confused :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What grade are you in?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9th

OpenStudy (anonymous):

SERIOUSLY WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE SENTENCE?!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hint: Something needs to be capitalized

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you are talking about the y in "you", shouldn't that not be capitalized since it comes after a colon?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't see any colon in that sentence.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The sentence is: Here is my idea: you ask Arianna Fox if we can borrow her chairs, and I'll bring over my recliner.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the colon is after idea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I believe it is.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what punctuation in that sentence (as in colon, semicolon, or comma) or capitalization needs to be fixed? I can't find anything!?!?!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, I didn't know the "Here is my idea" was apart of the sentence. Sorry.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah, so what's wrong with the sentence? please! :) :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Take away the colon.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do I replace it with a comma?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

also, should i take away the comma between chairs and the word and?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay :) thank you :) <3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Of course. ^_^
