Thanks Jen
Does anyone have any answers to these questions.Please help
Jennie, welcome to A2K.
If I may suggest, don't post so many examples at one time. Just remember this, dear. There are two basic parts to any sentence: A subject and a predicate. All the rest are modifiers with the exception of complements. (words, phrases, or dependent clauses that complete the verb.)
Choose two of the examples that you cited, and try it for yourself.

Thanks for the advice.

I am really looking for a majority of people the fill out these questions so I can compare answers.

I cannot afford to flunk out now.
Good luck then, jennie. Perhaps other will come in and help.
I think most all of us are averse to just plain doing someone's homework for them. Advice, sure. Critique, sure.
Maybe you can say what you think the right answers are, and why, and we can go from there.
I dont want anyone to do my work.I did that before and got help from a tutor.I got a 60 on that paper.I really dont trust someone else helping me anymore.I just need someone to tell me which ones are wrong if they could please. I redid some questions.
