Rewrite the sentence correctly: the man cat ran around the tree

Answer explanation

The correct sentence is 'The cat ran around the tree.' The original sentence incorrectly places 'man' before 'cat,' making it unclear. By removing 'man,' the sentence becomes clear and grammatically correct.

punctuate: When you finish your homework (a)   you can go play outside.

Answer explanation

The correct punctuation is a comma before 'you can go play outside' because it separates the dependent clause 'When you finish your homework' from the independent clause. Thus, the sentence should read: 'When you finish your homework, you can go play outside.'

Which sentence is punctuated correctly?

• I love ice cream, pizza and soda.
