Scroll over the passage, and click on any word in a sentence circled with a gray line. When the text box pops up, read the instructions carefully. Rewrite the sentence as the instructions direct you--only as a question, only as a statement, only as a command, or only as an exclamation. Tips: When rewriting, you may need to reverse the order of the subject and verb, or you may need to add a certain word for the sentence to make grammatical sense. (For example, you may need to add "Do" or "Does" to change certain statements into questions.) Check your spelling, capitalization, punctuation, and spacing, and then click Submit.
There are many ways to define courage. Courage is risking your life to help someone, in my opinion. Knowing their lives are in danger, fire fighters still battle blazes and police officers still chase violent criminals. When we need them, they are there. And we are always glad to see them. Standing up to injustice is also courageous. Civil rights fighters would be good examples. I believe it takes courage to face the day when you are sick or poor or homeless. A friend of mine adopted four children. You could say that takes courage. I certainly would! There is also everyday courage. Everyday courage could mean persisting, day in and day out, to meet a personal challenge. A personal challenge might be getting better grades. Staying healthy might also be a personal challenge. No doubt there are many other definitions of courage, too.
