persons take or think the same as she does, but this can be

always asking me to tell her what were the homework for the

week and what she needs to studying. Can she be more

stressful? No one wants to hurt and tell her that she needs to

be calm.

I learned many things about the brain that I didn’t know it, that is too

important to know about our body and how it works. Also the simple, the

compound, and compound complex sentences, they are important

because we need to know what it’s a dependent clause and a

independent clause and how they are classified.

I liked when we were reading in class the book of Tom Sawyer, because

for me it is better to read in class, we discuss about the book, what

happened in that chapter and learn new vocabulary words.

I think that we should do things outside or doing more homework in

groups.

Use the conjunctions yet or but. Use a comma before the conjuction.

Example:

The house had a lot of reapairs, but it still looked like a cattle.

That show contrast use even though, although, though. Use a comma

after the dependent clause when it begins the sentence.

They have one independent clause and one or more dependent

clauses.

Example:

Although the house had a lot of repairs, it looed like a cattle.

Have more than one indeoendent clause, as well as one or more

dependent clauses.

Example:

Because the brain is a complicated organ, scientis do not understand

everthing about it, but they are discovering more information all the time.
