  • THANKS SOO MUCH PAUL YOU GAVE ME A 87% IN MY LANGUAGE GRADE, WITHOUT YOU I WOULDNT HAVE GOTTEN IT, I OWE ALOT MAN THANKS SO MUCH!!!! MAY GOD BE WITH YOU ALWAYS AND GOD BLESS!!!!

  • @Not2pk -- Hey, you're welcome. I hope you remember what you've learned now that the test is over!

  • why the comma after "dishes?"

  • @Xanith83 -- "I washed the dishes, and my wife dried them."

    It wouldn't be a tragedy to exclude the comma, but there are two clauses: I washed the dishes. My wife dried them. Each clause has a subject and a verb. You wouldn't use a comma in a sentence with one subject: I washed and dried the dishes.

  • i have a compoud sentence but i don't know if its correct, he didn't do his homework, nor did he got ot school.

  • @juakka -- Yes, that's okay with a few corrections:

    He didn't do his homework, nor did he go to school.
