OpenStudy (babynini):

Which one are you leaning towards? :)

OpenStudy (babynini):

If you're stuck, try reading it outloud! that helps sometimes.

OpenStudy (kaloemalia):

A?

OpenStudy (kaloemalia):

or D

OpenStudy (babynini):

hrm well not D because that has an unnecessary "she" in there.

OpenStudy (babynini):

I mean, it's in the wrong spot.

OpenStudy (babynini):

A is a little awkward too. Which out of B or C do you think it is? :)

OpenStudy (kaloemalia):

B

OpenStudy (babynini):

hm. I'd go with C. You may want to have someone double check that though. It sounds best when it's read outloud, to me anyway.

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

Baby the Nini is right. When you're describing someone or something and take a break in the sentence, you must put a comma before and after. Also before any one of the words in FANBOYS. It's quite complicated that way.

OpenStudy (kaloemalia):
