Though you are young, you have no doubt heard of taking one step back to move one step forward. To that end, you challeneged your minds and opened your hearts to some grade 8 grammar today. Let me assure you, if you put your efforts into mastering grammar, your sentences and your punctuation can become virtually flawless. There is power and strength in complete sentences. There is sophistication in an engaging melange of compound and complex sentences. There is respite and clout in a simple sentence! Can you honestly say you know how to avoid sentence fragments? You should. Do you know how to punctuate appropriately with coordinate conjunctions (FANBOYS) or subordinate conjunctions? You should. If you are reading this, you should review the first blog post, and travel along the path to knowledge with the link to a helpful website on Simple, Compound, and Complex Sentences. Amen and God Bless.
