Default Re: is this sentence correct or not?

1. I'll send you a postcard when I am on holiday.
2. I wish it would have been warmer.
3. I am going to the party unless you stop me.

Every sentence must start with a capital letter and end with the appropriate end punctuation. The personal pronoun I is always a capital letter.

So and very can have the same meaning insome cases.


Keep working on the basics like subject-verb agreement (are these sentences correct), capitalization and punctuation. Hard work and practice are two of the keys to success, another is asking for help when you need it.

You are very welcome. Thanks for using a capital letter correctly in your reply, teachers always love it when students listen to their advice.

Try this:

Thank you very much for your help. I appreciate it. (two independent clauses, two sentences)
