Why should you always put a comma?
Feliz [49]

Answer:

a comma is important for a couple reasons.

Explanation:

A comma can avoid a run on sentence, and completely change the type of sentence (eg. compound, complex, run on, etc.). It can also change the whole meaning of what's being said in the sentence. For example: "Let's eat, Jayden!" compared to, "Let's eat Jayden!" have completely different meanings because of the comma.

Hope this helps :)

Ethos, Pathos, or Logos? If you decide not to come for Thanksgiving, it would break your grandmother's heart. Ethos © Pathos O L
aleksley [76]
Pathos. The reasoning being, what each word means.
Ethos is essentially the evidence of a “professional,” like things that say “9/10 dentist’s recommend!” By claiming that other people, famous people and/or professionals agree with your statement, it becomes more convincing as a result.
Logos is things such as evidence— the way I remember it is, logos and logic. Statistics are a great example but anything using logic is logos.
Finally, Pathos is emotional. Using someone’s emotions as a convincing factor. Using the commercial example from before, you know those sad puppy dog commercials? “One cent a day can help feed this poor animal.” The entire point is to play with your emotions in order to convince you to pay. That makes it pathos.

So I’m this example this is pathos. You’re trying to make someone feel bad for “breaking your grandma’s heart.” You’re not saying, “your grandma agrees that it would break her heart,” or “your mom and dad both say it would upset grandma,” which would be ethos. You’re also not saying anything logical or statistical. This leaves pathos as your answer.

Hope this helps!

What is the function of the gerund phrase in this sentence? walking in the deep snow made me feel as if i were on the cover of a
yuradex [85]
First, you need to know what a gerund is. It refers to a word form that looks like a verb + ing. So here, the gerund phrase is <em>walking in the deep snow. </em>Also, you need to know that gerund is practically a noun in a sentence, meaning that it can function as either a subject or an object of a sentence. Here, the correct answer is the subject. 
If you are unsure, you can replace the phrase with a pronoun He, for example: He made me feel... And you will know it is a subject, because the object would be Him.
