If someone has read my post, I will thank you.
I am really confused on the ands, at what times do you underline the ands and at what times do you not?

You also sometimes confuse what is subject and verb. For example, in #16, crawled is a verb, but there are two verbs in that sentence, the second in the subordinate clause. You misidentify it. Re-read your text materials on subjects and verbs.
I always thought that there was always one verb in the sentence or at least a verb phrase. At what times should I have underlined the ands in the sentence?
In the exercise you provided, the instructions are to cross out prepositional phrases, underline the subject once, and underline the verb/verb phrase twice. The word "and" is not specified as something that needs to be underlined.
Based on the correct answers you provided for the exercise, it seems that you only crossed out prepositional phrases and correctly identified the subject and verb/verb phrase. There is no need to underline the word "and" in this exercise.
To summarize:
- Cross out prepositional phrases in the sentence.
- Underline the subject once.
- Underline the verb/verb phrase twice.
It's important to note that different exercises and grammar rules may require different approaches. If you're unsure about a specific exercise or grammar rule, it's always helpful to refer to a grammar guide, textbook, or consult with a teacher or tutor for clarification.
