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.
Thank you for the lesson! It was a good one listening properly. I was able to obtain nine correctly. I look forward to the next lesson! Best wishes and regards! 😊
Nice one!
Remarkable video. I would really like to see more like this one in the future because I really back up the idea of creating such series. Thank you so much as always! Regards from Ukraine! Keep it up, Jennifer!

Thanks for the lesson is very good and instructive .I have seven points.
this was very helpful
Number 8 tripped me up because I changed 'so' to 'a', forgetting the need to emphasize 'nice girl' using such! You never fail to teach me something. Thanks, Jennifer!

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 💜
How many did you get correct out of 10?
8/8 Merci. Shukran!

I’m seeing a lot of adults not knowing how to use these three words correctly
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.
Amazing lesson
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.
That was refreshing!
How to identify
if you did a video for authors covering thing that would be great, i will start using the oxford comma.
