Transcript

00:03

All right See writing shmoop er's We had a bunch

00:07

of stuff for you to end it We call it

00:09

stuff it's literary stuff Okay well let's just start with

00:13

the first primary dock here which is this fine letter

00:16

to mr nevada which were goingto skin real quick He's

00:20

got a couple of bad up there on the laugh

00:23

of the dress Demons run When we spoke previously you

00:26

said it would resolve the issue quickly Okay so he's

00:28

clearly my strike and then next senses i hope you

00:33

stay true to your word Well we skim down a

00:36

question one we see it's only referring teo Well sentences

00:40

one into so let's just stop right there on our

00:42

skin Go to the question for number one here and

00:45

see what miss mona is so peeved about in context

00:50

which is the best way to revise and combine senses

00:53

one and two All right so there they are Let's

00:57

Think about this well Getting a slam dunk on a

01:03

revised right combined question is hard in this case since

01:07

one is a complex sentence that contains one dependent clause

01:11

right there and one independent claws right there Well sentence

01:15

to is a simple sentence that contains one independent clause

01:18

That's it in order to combine these properly we need

01:21

to follow the rules of the grammar court and then

01:24

we can you know smash with backboard lebron style or

01:27

something like that Well the easiest way to combine these

01:29

two sentences is with a comma and a conjunction word

01:33

like and showing how these two thoughts are connected a

01:37

two points So the answer is c and it should

01:40

read when we spoke previously comma you said you would

01:45

resolve the issue quickly comma and i hope you stay

01:49

true to your word So that's it see and add

01:53

some foot tapping noises in there for the pv definition

01:56

All right what we can't do Yeah what we can't

01:59

do is cost the two sentences together and slap a

02:02

common in between like a would have you d'oh that's

02:04

called the kama slice It's illegal We've missed the basket

02:07

If we do all that if we got the comma

02:09

route while we have to add a conjunction as well

02:12

but we still have to preserve the logic of the

02:14

sentence Okay so placing But as b would have you

02:18

d'oh before that second clause doesn't make any sense And

02:21

keeping the sentence in the correct logical order is also

02:24

a challenge Inserting when you stay true to your word

02:28

a whiny kind of tone there as he would have

02:30

you do well in the beginning of the sentence that

02:32

indicates an improper cause and effect That's it it's c

02:36

We're done with one See you back on the court
