Grammar Cat #95: Butterfly Cat

Can you help this cat? Think about how to improve the English and then click "Show Correct Cat" to see a corrected version. There are some English notes at the bottom; if you have a question that is not answered there, leave a comment!






I WORSHIPS = I worship

TEH FLUTTERBY = the butterfly,
It's best to have a comma here because the "and" is joining two independent clauses:
I worship the butterfly.
Then I eat it.
I worship the butterfly, and then I eat it.

AN DEN = and then

I EATS IT = I eat it.
Don't forget the final period.

Grammar Cat #17: Fallen Down Cat

I FELLED DOWN = I fell down,
You need a comma before the conjunction when two independent clauses are being joined in a compound sentence.

AN I CANT = and I can't
You need an apostrophe here for the contraction "can't" = "cannot."

GIT UP = get up.
Don't forget the final period!

I BAEKED U = I baked you 

SUM COOKEEZ = some cookies,
Notice that there is a comma here because the conjunction "but" is joining two independent clauses ("I baked you some cookies" and "I ate them").

BUT I EATED THEM. = but I ate them.
