Lesson Instructions

You will go through all lessons (grammar, reading, and writing).

GRAMMAR

Introduction

Today we will be reviewing the difference between simple and compound sentences.

Simple sentences must have one subject and one predicate. We've also learned that when a sentence has multiple subject and predicates with no punctuation, it is called a run-on sentence.

But how can we fix that?

We can fix it by adding a comma and a coordinating conjunction (for and nor but or yet so).

Introduction
