Let’s do some corrections. I will come around and help.
Pass in or email
this to me as an attachment by 9:10. No lates.
Use pen. Use 14-16
point font.
Write a simple
sentence for each:
e.g. SV school
The
kids like to go to school.
1.
SV artificial
2. SSV observe
3. SVV
productive
4. SSVV business
5. Interrogative semiannual
6.
Imperative accident
I enjoy attending
a good class. SV gerund, noun
I like skiing. Skiing is fun.

challenging.
wf productive(a) production(n) product(n) productivity(n) produce(v)
producer(n-person)
semiannual(a) semiannually(adv)

Imperative ‘accident’

These simple sentences are the foundations of all of our
writing. I want you to feel comfortable with these ideas:
SV SSV SVV
SSVV Imperative Interrogative
Watch out! Be careful. Keep your eyes open. Be aware of your
surroundings.
Watch up! Look up!

homesick. noun
-It depends on how you use the word in your sentence.

observing their garden.
their – pronoun- my, her , his, your, our
there/ their/ they’re - confusing
May and Leon are
observing Hanukkah.
