The video turned out to be a remarkable revision of all this knowledge. You're doing a great job!
I have a question: Could I use a colon to separate two sentences?
I know that a colon is used for emphasis; however, I can't understand how to use it in this case even though I watched your video about colons.
Thank you in advance!
Best regards from an Ukrainian!
Keep up the great work!

This was a fantastic lesson!
I gave myself an A+ because... The A is for getting them all right, and the (+) is because I'm the teachers favorite :)
You're the best..!

The lesson was extremely helpful. I missed the apostrophe in #1, and the exclamation point in #3. I did get the apostrophe in #4, but missed the exclamation point and put a period. I managed the comma and period in #5, but missed the quotes! The remainder of the questions I got correct. I did not know about leaving one space after a period because all my English papers were mechanically typewritten. I thought it was a rule to leave two spaces after a period; thanks for educating me. Do you know why the Microsoft Word program wants a comma before the word ‘which’ and not before ‘that’? For example-The girl which went to the gym was lame afterwards. If I wrote, that went, the processor does not flag it; is it required to put a comma for one word and not the other? I hope this makes sense. Thank you for these tutorials, I appreciate each one.

Why haven't you talked about verbs as a part of speech 😊🌹
