True or False
I, My, She and her are pronouns
True.
"I", "my", "she", and "her" are all pronouns. "I" and "she" are subject pronouns, used as the subject of a sentence or clause. "My" and "her" are possessive pronouns, used to show possession.
Which sentence uses the pronouns correctly and would be considered consistent pronouns?
I study hard for my exams, so her grades are high
I study hard for my exams so my grades are high
At my school, There are so many students that you meet someone new everyday
The sentence that uses the pronouns correctly and would be considered consistent pronouns is:
"I study hard for my exams so my grades are high."
This sentence maintains consistency by using the possessive pronoun "my" to refer to the subject "I". In the first sentence, "I" is the subject pronoun used to refer to the speaker, while "her" is an object pronoun used to refer to someone else. This creates pronoun inconsistency and confusion. In the second sentence, there is no pronoun inconsistency.
The third sentence is grammatically correct but it does not use any pronouns.
Is the following an independent or dependent clause?:
I enjoy taking the bus
The following is an independent clause:
"I enjoy taking the bus."
An independent clause (also known as a main clause) is a group of words that contains a subject and a predicate, and expresses a complete thought. It can stand alone as a sentence. Here, the subject is "I" and the predicate is "enjoy taking the bus."
The statement you provided is false. The correct answer is false. Here's how you can determine whether a sentence is compound or not:
A compound sentence is a sentence that consists of two or more independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction (such as "and," "but," "or," "for," "nor," "so," or "yet").
Let's break down the sentence you provided: "Ali and Maggie plays soccer, but I play tennis."
First, let's identify the independent clauses:
- "Ali and Maggie play soccer."
- "I play tennis."
Next, let's check if these independent clauses are joined by a coordinating conjunction. In this case, the conjunction used is "but."
Since we have two independent clauses (joined by a coordinating conjunction), the provided sentence is indeed a compound sentence.
However, there is an error in subject-verb agreement. Instead of "plays," it should be "play" to agree with the plural subject "Ali and Maggie." So, the corrected version of the compound sentence would be: "Ali and Maggie play soccer, but I play tennis."
In summary, the corrected sentence "Ali and Maggie play soccer, but I play tennis" is an example of a compound sentence.
