Reading Draft #2 Problem/Solution

Remember the semicolon?  Which of these is correct?

1. She was thinking about buying him a gift; when she saw the doodad in the store window.

2.  After arriving late for their date, she was apologetic; he was not happy.

3.  As soon as she offered him the gift; his expression changed.

After you read drafts, you will do Exercise 39.2 on pages 101-102 in the exercise book. Next to each number write either C for correct, or R for remove, or Comma for replacing the semicolon with a comma.

Then you each read and comment on two drafts.

Homework:

Proofread your paper and be ready to hand it in tomorrow.

TWFTD: none
