there's a special sentece structure. i don't know the exact format( i don't go memorizing it), but i know that each sentence begins with I am and it describes you by telling something about you. also, the first and last line are like this: I am (your name!).

By each sentence:\n\nThe simple subject is a noun or pronoun that does something.\nThe predicate is the action word...it's what's happening.\n\n1.  Earnest and Raoul  - 2 simple subjects\n.....now you fill in the predicate.....what they did?\n\n2.  Leadbelly is the subject....\nverb has two worlds....and it's not simple so by having two words in the predicate, it is compound....\n....so what did Leadbelly do?....predicate 2 words is:has _________.\n3. You is the subject\n.....what did you do...... first part of the predicate is have.....you misspelled the rest of the verb.\n\n4.  Leadbelly is the subject\n....what did Leadbelly do.......\nI'll give you this one......the predicate is:    was\n\nSo subjects :  do something...or are something,\npredicates or verbs:  are the action words, are what the subjects do, or ....are something....am, is, was, were......\n\nI hope this helps!!!

The answer is B.  \n\nA compound sentence can be taken apart to form two complete sentences:\n\nSue gave Jim a new racket.  He left for the tennis courts.

If it's a compount sentance...\n\nExample:\n\nI'll run for help, you get the fire hose!\n\nThe subjects are 'I' and 'you' with an implied 'and' conjunction (but not really).  The compound predicates are 'run' and 'get'...   So... there you go.\n\nThis isn't two sentences, it's a compound sentece.  (I guess the case could be made that it should be two sentences.)  Keep in mind that I was trying to make a compound sentence with two non-conjunctionated (like my made up word?) subjects.  Really you would say soemthing like "Go get help and I'll grab the hose" which WOULD have a conjunction.

Hi, firstly if i do any mistakes please feel free to correct me. Direct and indirect, speech are mostly use in speech form, Direct speech is wen there is an instant speech, n indirect speech is a reported speech. so u will have to make grammatical changes. For e.g,\n Marry says,"I am hungry".    this is direct speech, in indirect speech the sentence will b like that, \nMarry said that, she is hungry.\n\nAs in Active n Passive Voice.\nThe sentences in also more concise than in passive voice. In sentences written in active voice, the subject performs the action expressed in the verb; the subject acts.  For e.g\nThe dog bit the boy.  \n\n As in sentences written in passive voice, the subject receives the action expressed in the verb; the subject is acted upon. The agent performing the action may appear in a "by the . . ." phrase or may be omitted.\n\nFor e.g, The boy was bitten by the dog.  I show u another e.g wen the agent is omitted, For e.g, in the active form,  \n\nThe policeman has arrested the thief. \n\nIn the passive form where the agent is omitted. e.g  \n\nThe thief has been arrested.\n \nBut dont forget in both Direct n indirect speech and Passive n Active voice u have to make grammatical changes.  if u need more help pleas dont hesitate to contact me OK.

Grammatically they are both correct.  #2 sounds more natural.  My only source is my Sprachgefühl (feel for language)

It depends on which is the "subject", and which is the "predicate". "With" would presume association, whilst "By" would suggest Participation.

either is acceptable..\n\nthough, if you would be using the sentence in theme papers.. or any formal writing..\n\nyou should use the second..\n\nthis is for the reason that when a number is present in a sentence..\n\nit is only appropriate that you affix the word "for"..\n\nexample...\n\nwe were trekking for four days (it wouldn't seem formal if you use "we were trekking four days")

You cannot use both these punctuation marks; you must choose one or the other. You can say, "What do you mean by that?" she asked loudly.

What? USE COMPLETE SENTENCES!!

Gone Car - Sentence 1 is in a sense a prediction made in the present about an event to take place in the future (at some time in the following ten minutes). Sentence 2 is more on the order of a simple statement about what will be accomplished (or completed) at the moment the next ten minutes have passed. Again the difference between the two sentences is very subtle.\n\nI think there is a fundamental problem which this question illustrates quite well. That problem is this: You are being instructed in the rules of formal English grammar from a textbook. But these are not necessarily the forms that (most) English-speaking peoples use in their everyday conversation. \n\nI think it more likely that one would say (at least here in the U.S.):\n\n1-By ten minutes from now you will have finished reading this.\nor\n1-By the time ten minutes are up you will have finished reading this.\n\nor\n\n1-By the time ten minutes have passed you will be done reading this.\n\nI like the third way best. It is simple and clear. There are other ways to say the same thing besides these three. These are just some of the more common examples.\n\nYou see the problem though. If you use the form I am suggesting here then you are not studying the future perfect tense. But again there is to my mind something lacking in the method of instruction here. I can guarantee you that NO ONE speaking English as a primary language stops to think, "Shall I use future perfect tense her or just future?" It just isn't done. EVER. I had totally forgotten that a tense called future perfect even existed until you called my attention to it again. And this would be the case with most any native speaker who has completed school and pays little attention to rules of grammar. Still we get along and make ourselves understood. The point further is that I think the third example I gave above is easier to understand.\n\nSo that leaves you with a very real dilemma. On the one hand you must learn the formal rules of English grammar from the textbooks as your instructor(s) want you to. But on the other hand, you'd also like to learn how English is actually spoken and written by native users, wouldn't you?\n\nNow, back to your second sentence. It might be said the way you have it. Sure. But you are more likely to hear something like\n\n2-In ten minutes you will finish reading this.\n\nor\n\n\n2-Ten minutes from now you will finish reading this. \n\nWell I have had my say and I'm afraid I may just have confused you more. Just keep this in mind: there is the English of formal grammar on the one hand and on the other, the English as it is actually used by the users. In the very long view (generations or even centuries) the second determines the first.

The 2nd sentence is correct and very formal; there is something like an old subjunctive form hidden in it.\nThe 1st sentence is (informally) not incorrect and could be found in British English.

Yes it is a sentence.  The term used for sentences like "quiet" or "stop" or "drink" etc., is an imperative.  In an imperative the subject of the sentence (you) is assumed, as in "you be quiet" or "you stop" or "you drink."

these are all definitely right...\n\n1.  "you" -- objective pronoun\n\n2.  "he"  -- subjective pronoun\n\n3.  "her"  -- objective pronoun\n\n4.  "she"  -- subjective pronoun\n\n5.  "it"  -- objective pronoun
