phrase.

Put brackets [ ] around each clause. This sentence only has one clause, so put a bracket before the
first word and after the last word. If you only have one clause, it must be independent. Write “ind cl”
above the sentence. A sentence made up of just one independent clause is called a simple sentence,
and the sentence just declares a fact, so it’s a simple/declarative. Write S/dec off to the side of the
sentence.
For Thursday:
Look for any punctuation and capitalization errors. There is one of each. Underline a letter 3 times to
capitalize it, add the punctuation needed and draw a circle around it.
