    Despite my current age, i've never known how to do basic punctuation. I always brushed it off, and blamed school. But recently - i've decided to try and actually write properly. I hope, that this will help me form more coherent sentences. As embarassing as it feels to watch first grade level english. Hopefully this sentence does not have too many glaring flaws.

    Writing in prose; in other words… just plain talking, or conversation without rhythm or metering, definitely falls under the rules of grammar. I myself can be cough off guard based on the fact, I'm a Appalachian by birth. Nevertheless, we must endeavor to search every avenue to improve our communication skills. You're a 10 Thank you 💜

    Good morning Dear Mss. Sparkle. I have a doubt about the following sentence I would be very grateful if you could solve it: Mom's and Dad's cars are new. I understand this sentence in a different way, there may be a gap of something in my knowledge, therefore, it happens. I get it in the following manner: Mom's cars are new and Dad's cars are new. I would understand the way in which you did it if the sentence would be: Mom's and Dad's car are new, meaning Mom's car is new and Dad's car is new. Please, if you could give me a proof-based or in-depth explanation of why the initial sentence is correct, I would thank you to bits.

    wonderful explanation. Many say that we combine an independent clause and a dependent clause with a subordinating conjunction. Not the correct definition. From your explanation, I understand that a dependent clause can be combined with an independent clause when the dependent clause begins with a conjunction.
