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
