Welcome to the forum. :hi:

Note that we don't normally help at all with homework but as you have already had this marked once, I'm prepared to give you just one bit of help. My suggestion is "Here are some examples of ..."

Please note my corrections to your post in red. It is important to capitalise the first word of every sentence, the word "I" at all times and proper nouns (ie English).

"I will give you examples"


***** NOT A TEACHER *****


Hello, Angelique:

My teachers told me NOT to announce what I was going to do. They told me to simply do it.

So maybe your sentence could be something like:

"The work ethic of the Puritans was very different from today's. For example, the Puritans XXXXX. Today, however, people XXXXX."
