Can someone check my homework please, I have to write several sentences describing a recent interaction with a friend or family member about personal finance or credit cards. I have to at least write five different pronouns, adverbs, and adjectives in the sentences. And compare the event to one or more similar events. When comparing, use at least three comparatives and three superlatives.
This is what i wrote;
My first experience was at a very young age while in college, with a credit card was a disaster, leaving me quickly in debt. I completely maxed it out and had an extremely hard time keeping up with the monthly payments. During this time my credit score suffered drastically. Not only that, the extremely high interest rate added to my stress of trying to get a handle on the debt building up. My impulsive decision to get a credit card at an early age continues to affect my credit and ability to receive loans.
I only see three different pronouns. Others you might use are: he, she, it, they, them, her, his
You have enough adjectives and adverbs, but you haven't identified them.
You also haven't included any comparative adjectives or adverbs. See the sites below.

adjectives are first, credit, disaster, hard, monthly,high impulsive and early.
adverbs- quick,completely, extremely,drastically
cant see the pronouns can you help!
The adjectives are correct -- except that "disaster" is a noun, not an adjective.
Your adverbs are correct. Also -- "very" is an adverb.
The pronouns you've used are: my, me, I

Dan runs very fast.

Sure, I'd be happy to help you with your homework! Here are the sentences you wrote:
1. My first experience was at a very young age while in college, with a credit card was a disaster, leaving me quickly in debt.
2. I completely maxed it out and had an extremely hard time keeping up with the monthly payments.
3. During this time my credit score suffered drastically.
4. Not only that, the extremely high interest rate added to my stress of trying to get a handle on the debt building up.
5. My impulsive decision to get a credit card at an early age continues to affect my credit and ability to receive loans.
Now, let's break it down and identify the pronouns, adverbs, and adjectives used in each sentence:
1. Pronouns: my
Adjectives: very young, disaster
Comparatives: none
Superlatives: none
2. Pronouns: it, me
Adjectives: completely, extremely hard, monthly
Comparatives: none
Superlatives: none
3. Pronouns: my
Adjectives: none
Comparatives: none
Superlatives: none
4. Pronouns: none
Adjectives: extremely high, stress, on the debt building up
Comparatives: none
Superlatives: none
5. Pronouns: My
Adjectives: impulsive, early, ability
Comparatives: none
Superlatives: none
To improve the sentences and meet the requirements of using comparatives and superlatives, you can consider revising them as follows:
1. My first experience at a very young age, while in college, with a credit card was a complete disaster, leaving me quickly and desperately in debt. Comparatively speaking, this event was far worse than any other interaction I had ever had with personal finance or credit cards.
2. I completely maxed it out and had an extremely hard time keeping up with the surprisingly high monthly payments. Comparative to other financial incidents, this was among the most challenging and financially draining experiences I had encountered.
3. During this time, my credit score suffered drastically, making it even more detrimental than previous financial mishaps.
4. Not only that, the exorbitantly high interest rate added an immense amount of stress to my already overwhelming attempt to get a handle on the rapidly accumulating debt. Compared to other financial struggles, this situation was undeniably more financially burdensome.
5. My impulsive decision to get a credit card at such an early age continues to have a profound and long-lasting impact on my credit and my ability to receive loans. In comparison to other impulsive financial choices, this was one of the most consequential decisions I have ever made.
Remember, while making these revisions, it's important to maintain coherence and clarity in your sentences.
