Is “everyone went to the dance, but me” a compound sentence?

English

Answer:

"Everyone went to the dance, but me," is not a compound sentence.

Explanation:

A compound sentence is--similarly to the sentence in the question--something a comma is present within. The similarities basically end there. A compound sentence is the joining of two separate thoughts with--in general--the first being a <em>complete sentence</em> with a subject, and the second being an <em>incomplete sentence</em>, but having a different subject.

  • "I just lost my dog, but my cat seems to be happy about it." is a compound sentence.

In the above sentence, the first clause is a complete thought that could be on its own,

  • "I just lost my dog."

but the second sentence is incomplete without the first even with a subject and verb.

  • "But my cat seems to be happy about it."

That's the best explanation I can give on compound sentences.

In your case with the sentence, "Everyone went to the dance, but me," there may be a subject, verb, and <u>complete sentence</u> in...

  • "Everyone went to the dance."

but even with, "But me." being incomplete, the fact there is no subject nor verb removes the possibility of it being a compound sentence.

Locate the gerund or gerund phrase and identify its noun function in the sentence. Going for the gold was the team's motto. Geru
Savatey [412]

Answer:

"Going for the gold"

Explanation:

Gerund is a kind of verbal that works both like a verb and a noun.

It can function as a simple word or as a phrase.Again, phrase is the combination of words that doesn't have a subject or verb but works like a single parts of speech when used in a sentence.

Here"going for the gold"is a gerund phrase as the structure is=verb+ing

And it's a phrase because it doesn't has subject or verb.Rather it's consist of some words supporting the gerund "going"

The most important sign to recognize wether it is gerund or not is the verb following it and the verb "was" is singular.

A gerund always functions like a noun.Such as-

"Walking" is a good exercise.

Here walking has used as noun as it is a name of an exercise.as we know the name of something is considered as a noun.

"Going for the gold" was the team's motto.

In this sentence, "going for the gold"is a single task and it's also the name of the motto the team wanted to accomplish.So it's a Gerund and noun.

What was meant by “it had nothing to fear but fear itself?” (to kill a mockingbird)
lesya [120]

Answer:

He said “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself” meaning that we don't need to be afraid of anything other than being afraid — if everyone will remain calm, the troubles can be sorted out and addressed, but if people panic and stampede, things will only get worse.

Write a limerick about the ocean
katen-ka-za [31]
A limerick is a piece that follows the AABBA format. That means that lines one and two rhyme with each other, three and four rhyme with each other, and line five rhymes with the first two. So, an example of a limerick about the ocean would be,

“There’s nothing that’s quite like the sea
With blue water deep as can be
All the shells on the sand
In the sun getting tanned
Nothing else could be better to me”

because sea, be, and me rhyme, and so do sand and tanned.
