1. Identify the choice that best describes the sentence:

The dog always barks with pleasure when she sees us.
A. declarative******
B. exclamatory
C. imperative
D. interrogative

2. Identify the correctly punctuated sentence.
A.I'd love to see that movie again [maybe next Friday] and bring a friend.******
B.I'd love to see that movie again; perhaps next Friday, and bring a friend.
C.I'd love to see that movie again, perhaps next Friday, and bring a friend.
D.I'd love to see that movie again-perhaps next Friday-and bring a friend.

A for the first one...and
I am really unsure for the second - I think it might be A also...please help

If there's an INDEPENDENT CLAUSE before and another INDEPENDENT CLAUSE after the semicolon, then choose B.

If those hyphens in D are supposed to be dashes, then choose D.

Writeacher I can see reasons for a couple choices on 2...and I hate just guessing but I can see it being B and D. I'll choose B...I am not sure sorry

Those are dashes...and I think it would be D

Right.

Thank you - I learn so much from you :)

Oh, I'm glad!

You're welcome.

my teachers told me it’s a...

1. You are correct, the choice that best describes the sentence "The dog always barks with pleasure when she sees us" is A. declarative. A declarative sentence makes a statement or expresses a fact, and in this case, the sentence is stating a fact about the dog's behavior.

2. To determine the correctly punctuated sentence, let's analyze the options provided:

A. "I'd love to see that movie again [maybe next Friday] and bring a friend." This option is incorrect because the brackets are not appropriate punctuation. Brackets are typically used for editorial insertions or clarifications, not for punctuation.

B. "I'd love to see that movie again; perhaps next Friday, and bring a friend." This option is incorrect because the semicolon is not suitable in this sentence structure. A semicolon is used to separate two closely related independent clauses, but "perhaps next Friday, and bring a friend" is not an independent clause.

C. "I'd love to see that movie again, perhaps next Friday, and bring a friend." This option is correct. The sentence is properly punctuated with commas separating the different elements in the sentence. The commas indicate the natural pauses in the sentence and help clarify the intended meaning.

D. "I'd love to see that movie again-perhaps next Friday-and bring a friend." This option is incorrect because the hyphens (-) are not the appropriate punctuation to use here. Hyphens are typically used for compound words or for joining certain prefixes and suffixes to words.

Therefore, the correctly punctuated sentence is C. "I'd love to see that movie again, perhaps next Friday, and bring a friend."

1. yes
