What is the correct form of the missing words? The red car in the parking lot belonged to Sarah Jones. James knew that ____ car was new and fast. Sarah Jone's Sarah Jones's or Sarah Jones' Sarah Joneses Sarah Jones
Apostrophes show possession and one is needed here to show that the car belongs to Sarah Jones. Different references give various recommendations for doing this with words that end in s. Both of the versions in this answer choice are listed as correct methods by certain grammar authorities. Sarah Jone's would mean that Sarah Jone owns the car. Adding es to Jones would simply make Jones plural.

What is the correct way to write the missing words in this sentence? Cara chose to study Jupiter, Saturn, ____ for her science project. neptune, and the sun Neptune, and The Sun Neptune, and the Sun Neptune, and the sun
Both "Neptune" and "Sun" are capitalized in this sentence because they are proper nouns. Proper nouns are always capitalized and they include name-specific people, places, organizations, and things. Note: If you were talking about suns, in general, of which there are many in the universe, you would not capitalize the word sun. Example: "Each solar system revolves around a sun." Then, you would not be talking about any particular sun. But, when you use the article the before sun, it indicates one particular sun and that is capitalized.
Which sentence is grammatically correct? Because fewer people showed up to the party, we served less cookies. Because less people showed up to the party, we served less cookies. Because fewer people showed up to the party, we served fewer cookies. Because less people showed up to the party, we served fewer cookies.
Both people and cookies are items you can count and would require the use of the word fewer. The word less is used to describe the amount of something generally appearing in bulk form and, therefore, uncountable, such as less sand or less water. However, you would write "fewer" bags of sand" and "fewer glasses of water."
Which of the following sentences is grammatically correct? A. After receiving intravenous antibiotics, Jarod's health improved. B. Growing up, Tom's father always read Tom a bedtime story. C.

Which words should be capitalized in this sentence? michelle watched the movie silence of the lambs and was afraid to sleep. Michelle, Movie, Silence, Lambs Michelle, Silence, Of, The, Lambs Michelle, Silence Michelle, Silence, Lambs
Michelle is the first word in the sentence and it is a person's name. Silence and Lambs are the important words in a movie title. Articles and other small words in titles are not capitalized. The word movie, as used in this sentence, is just an improper noun because it is not part of the name of something, so it is not capitalized.
Which of these sentences uses punctuation correctly? Honestly Michelle, what you are suggesting is never going to work. Honestly Michelle: what you are suggesting is never going to work. Honestly; Michelle, what you are suggesting is never going to work. Honestly, Michelle, what you are suggesting is never going to work.
Non-essential information in a sentence is set off by commas. In this case, Michelle's name isn't necessary for the sentence to be complete and make sense, so her name is set off by commas. Colons (:) are used to indicate that more information is to follow and that is not the case in this sentence. Semi-colons (;) join two independent clauses, which is not happening in this sentence.

The Siege of Vicksburg was a battle in the American Civil War and it is considered a proper noun. Proper nouns are people, places, organizations, and sometimes things and they must be capitalized. Prepositions (words like as, at, by, for, in, of, on, per, and to), are not typically capitalized unless they begin a sentence.
Which one is the correct verb form to use in this sentence? My shower ___ a leak Friday night. spring sprang sprung spranged
The action occurred in the past, therefore, sprang would be used because it is the simple past tense of the word spring. You would only use sprung if it was preceded by have, had, or has, as in "I noticed that my shower had sprung a leak."

Which is the correct verb form to use in the blank in this sentence? "Each player and coach on staff ____ for a new sports facility by next season." hoping hopes will have been hoping hope
The word each means that we are talking about a singular subject. Even though there may be more than one player or coach, each of them has this individual hope, so the verb must also be in the singular form, which is hopes. Also, usually the connecting word, and would create a plural subject while using or would indicate a singular subject. Here, however, the use of each (see above) overrides this and the subject is still singular. Note that, even though the word hopes appears to be plural, is is the singular form of the verb, to hope. In other words, it is the form of the verb that goes with all singular subjects: he hopes, she hopes etc. A plural subject, like they, would take the plural form of the verb, which has no s: hope (they hope).
Which punctuation mark would correctly fill in the blank space in this sentence? Jane ordered the steak __ Mark ordered the chicken salad. a semicolon (;) a colon (:) no punctuation a comma (,)
These are two independent clauses, which could each function as a complete sentence. To keep them together in one sentence, they need a semicolon to hold them together because a comma just isn't strong enough for two independent clauses. Without any punctuation, it becomes a run-on sentence.
___________ the best friends to have. Their There They're They is
They're
Which sentence is grammatically correct? Kevin prays for his sister's salvation at St. Mary's Church, fervently. Kevin prays at St. Mary's Church fervently for his sister's salvation. Kevin prays fervently at St. Mary's Church for his sister's salvation. None of these are grammatically correct.
This choice presents the information in the clearest and most concise manner. Modifiers, such as "fervently," should be placed adjacent to the verb they modify. The other two versions of the sentence do not accomplish this.
Which of these sentences contains an active verb tense? The boy was rewarded with a trophy for his win. The lawyer presented his case to the jury. The woman was given an engagement ring by her boyfriend. The spaghetti was quickly devoured by the hungry children.
This is the correct answer because active tense is when the subject of the sentence is performing the action. Passive verb tense shows the receiver of the action as the subject and is used in the other three choices. Active and passive verb tense is not dependent on whether the verb is in present or past tense.
Which sentence is grammatically correct? Wash the baby with unscented, hypoallergenic soap, carefully. Wash, carefully, the baby with unscented, hypoallergenic soap. Wash the baby with carefully unscented, hypoallergenic soap. Carefully wash the baby with unscented, hypoallergenic soap.
This is the most concise way to express this direction. The word carefully should describe how you wash the baby and not describe the soap used. Carefully should also be as close to the action word, wash, as possible.
