HAVE COURAGE- GET TO WORK. IT IS UP TO YOU.
12. I have a friend who is very intelligent, powerful, and determined. SIMPLE
13. Arianne likes to cook but don’t doesn’t like to clean up.
SIMPLE, COMPOUND, COMPLEX- all of your sentences
A few students use translating apps when they write.
1. That is cheating.
2. They don’t work. The sentences that come out are often not authentic English.
English is too complicated for a simple app. You have to rely on you your ability and the things I have been teaching you.
Shorter sentences are easier to control.
With longer sentences, it is easy to lose control.
Areas of concern:
-punctuation, commas, periods, semicolons
-verbs, verb forms, verb tenses
