Learn English as a Second Language with Additional Practice

Some devoted and very smart students sent in some sentence combinations from yesterday. I hope everyone will try to remember these techniques in the writing that you do every day. I have some more sentences for practice today that I hope will provide good practice. See below. I forgot to remind everyone that an appositive should be set off from the rest of the sentence by commas.

Try the following ~

1. Greenwich Village is a popular section of New York City.
Greenwich Village attracts many young people.

2. Samantha Simms is a talented actress.
Samantha Simms lives and works in Hollywood.

3. The English language has some inconsistent spelling.
The English language is popular.

4. The German capital is Bonn.
Bonn is a very beautiful city.

5. Tide detergent is a powerful cleaner.
Tide detergent is inexpensive.

Don’t forget the commas.
