  2. You need a comma after address in the sentence, for it is a run-on sentence without the comma.

  3. Thank you for posting the rubric. I have referred to it so many times already to strengthen my piece of writing. The test today was a really interesting test.

  5. There is no comma, meaning it is a run-on sentence.
    Maddie, that is a really good memory hook.

  6. She was no good at baseball or basketball either, and even had a hard time making a hula hoop stay on her hips.
    Shouldn't there not be a comma there because the second part can not stand alone.
    This is from the reading thing for tomorrow.

  7. no comma anywhere - 'she' is doing everything.

    However, many sentence rules are broken by prof. writers
