Our first Nine Lessons Will focus on two main items: Parts of Speech to practice our writing skills and
Grammar.
Parts of Speech

Grammar
Finally we will be looking at a part of speech and grammar as well. You will get a work sheet to practice.
Today we are looking at compound and run-on sentences.

Example: Tom arrived home. Then he ate dinner. BECOMES: Tom arrived home AND he ate dinner.
run-on sentence: Are sentences that carry on for to long with out being connected properly.
Example:We were running all day and then it started to get dark so we could not reach the town but we kept running hoping that we would reach the town before it got to late.
