The writer should state the point and grab the reader’s interest in this paragraph.<br /> <br /> *[[Body (writing)]]- This main part of the essay, include the descriptions or explanations of what is given in the introduction. The body should include at least 5 paragraphs, use a particular point of view, develop the subject logically, and keep the reader's interest with detail. It should conclude by looking beyond.<br /> <br /> *[[Conclusion]]- The writer offers closure and summarizes or ties the essay together in this final paragraph.

<p>Psandu: </p> <hr /> <div>Making sure that the subject and verb agree in a sentence is important. When they agree correctly they will make the essay or report easier to read and understand. There are a few techniques that will need to be taken to ensure the subject and verb are in agreement.The verb in every independent or dependent clause must agree with its subject in person or number(Butler, et al.143). <br /> <br /> '''The two numbers are:'''<br /> *singular- indicating one person or thing<br /> *plural- indicating more than one person or thing<br /> <br /> <br /> For the subject and verb to agree in number singular or plural subjects must have a singular or plural verb (Kirszner and Mandell 240). The subject takes the base form of the verb in all but the third person singular to make the subject and verb agree in person. In third person singular add an ''s'' or ''es'' to the base form of the verb to make both subject and verb agree. <br /> <br /> *'''Example:''' The dog jumped into the wagon.<br /> The subject is: '''dog'''<br /> <br /> The verb is: '''jumped'''<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Compound Subjects==<br /> <br /> <br /> &quot;Compound subjects joined by ''and'' normally require a plural verb&quot; (Butler,et al.144).<br /> *'''Remember:''' &quot;Nouns joined by ''and'' are thought of as a unit or actually refer to the same person or thing, the verb is normally singular&quot; (Butler, et al. 145).<br /> <br /> *'''Example:''' My friend and colleague Sarah has gone on vacation.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Verb Preceding the Subject==<br /> <br /> <br /> Verbs sometimes come before the subject.

<p>Psandu: </p> <hr /> <div><br /> == Works Cited ==<br /> <br /> Your works cited is incorrect. your 1st two web sources have broken links. You are missing a period between the author of said sites and the title you attribute to them. Also, quotation marks should encompass the titles. The actual meat of the page seems well structured, and hints towards great research techniques. <br /> <br /> Also, there is a dangling paragraph or so after the Works Cited. It seems to repeat the opening paragraph, so I suggest simply deleting it. If it's vital, enter it among the rest of the body.<br /> <br /> : I thought your paper was good. It was very informative. You included information on all types of sentences and provided the reader with examples and a clear understanding. God job.<br /> <br /> I think your paper is straight to the point and informative. A few errors but previous commentors addressed them already. Great Work.</div>

<p>Psandu: </p> <hr /> <div>Good paper. It included evidence and details, as well as examples. Make sure you inform the reader where you got your info. from.<br /> <br /> == Solid Information ==<br /> <br /> This page has the information ready and waiting to be plucked, and it is minimal in error. I want to first commend you on terrific work. Then I want to point out: while you denoted topic change almost perfectly; you could have brought out the &quot;To avoid&quot;s as minor headings, The Rules as a major heading, and capitalize &quot;semicolons&quot; and &quot;commas&quot; under &quot;The Usage&quot;. These suggestions are more for uniformity and aesthetic value.<br /> <br /> The repetition under &quot;To avoid unnecessary commas&quot; could have been avoided if you put: &quot;do not&quot; in what should be the sub heading. Your OWL source: &quot;Using Commas,&quot; link needs fixing as well.<br /> <br /> <br /> Your essay was informative and I enjoyed reading it but I would of liked to see more examples of the proper and improper usage of commas and semicolons. I think they would be helpful.</div>

<p>Psandu: </p> <hr /> <div>Writing is hard, pure and simple. Talking to each other, chatting online, or even writing a letter are merely our simple ways of communicating with each other. But, to go beyond and truly write, espeically formal writing, is like practicing a craft. With this in mind, trades are difficult and take practice and as such starting the process is the hardest part. I find the best way to start writing is just to write on paper and get words out. It doesn't matter if it's right or wrong, that part comes later, but was does matter is that thoughts are being recorded and the creative writing process starts. Eventually, you will get a feel for what you want to write and you can expand upon that, just by wrting down a few sentences, statements, or ideas on paper. For the best writers are the best between the transittion between the mind and the paper. ~ M. Nowell<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> :Your paper was excellent! You included lots of information ( some that I could use) and stayed on point. You went through each step and made every one of your points understandable.<br /> <br /> <br /> I liked the flow of your essasy. Your examples stood out.

It gives good information and provides details and supporting evidence.<br /> <br /> <br /> This a good paper, but in your statement by -H.L. Mencken their needs to be a space after your semicolon and I don't think every sentence example needs to be italic.Look in Hacker 290-292. b In your work cited the name of your books needs to be italic.<br /> <br /> You definitely provided all the information needed to understand the proper and improper use of semicolons but your overall presentation in my opinion was boring and didn't make me want to read and finish your essay. I felt that I was just reading another boring grammar book. I also noticed that just about all your facts came from Hacker. If you change the text and make important rules, examples stand out and put some of the text into your own words you might make your paper a little more interesting to read.</div>

The subject takes the base form of the verb in all but the third person singular to make the subject and verb agree in person. In third person singular you need to add an ''s'' or ''es'' to the base form of the verb to make both subject and verb agree. If you can locate the subject and verb in a sentence, you should not have any difficulty making the two agree.<br /> <br /> *'''Example:''' The dog jumped into the wagon.<br /> The subject is: '''dog'''<br /> <br /> The verb is: '''jumped'''<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Compound Subjects==<br /> <br /> <br /> &quot;Compound subjects joined by ''and'' normally require a plural verb&quot; (Butler, et al 144).<br /> *'''Remember:''' &quot;Nouns joined by ''and'' are thought of as a unit or actually refer to the same person or thing, the verb is normally singular&quot; (Butler, et al 145).<br /> <br /> *'''Example:''' My friend and colleague Sarah has gone on vacation.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Verb Preceding the Subject==<br /> <br /> <br /> Verbs sometimes come before the subject. This change in order can lead to error in agreement.<br /> <br /> *'''Example:''' Where are Dan and Bobby going?<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Intervening Expressions==<br /> <br /> <br /> *Verbs are sometimes separated by words that describe the subject. This can make it difficult to make sure that the subject and verb agree. The key is to make sure that the verb agrees with the subject and not with the word in the modifying phrase.<br /> <br /> *'''Example:''' The evidence that they submitted to the judge was convincing.<br /> The subject is: '''evidence'''<br /> <br /> The verb is: '''was'''<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == ==Work Cited== ==<br /> <br /> <br /> *Kirszner, Laurie G., and Stephen R.
