e.g. Begin your piece now. Your second sentence must be compound, and your third sentence must be complex. If you follow this pattern, you will probably get an ‘A.’ You should have started by now. I need to know the difference between the sentences, so color code each one. You will become a sentence genius because you know how to follow instructions
