Answer and explanation:
The purpose of using dashes in this excerpt is to set off an appositive sentence that contains commas. An appositive sentence is a structure that offers further information on something mentioned before it. Appositives can usually be set off by commas but, when they are long and present commas in their own structure, they are set off by dashes.
In the excerpt we are studying here, the appositive "-so-called because they used to, like, DECLARE things to be true, okay, as opposed to other things are, like, totally, you know, not-" is a very long one and full of commas. It is supposed to offer further information on what declarative sentences are.
Try to look at the brighter side. if you’re in a situation (for example) where you are waiting for test results, don’t think about the bad possibilities that could happen but more of what good could happen. try to keep an open mind and but don’t ignore the truth.
stop looking back at your past!! you can’t do anything about it and you never will! it’s in the past for a reason. all you can do is keep living in the present and live your life.
it’s gonna take some time to care less about the world but eventually you’ll get there. you just have to understand how special you are and how most things that you are insecure or worried about don’t matter. you also have to let go of letting everything be perfect and your job IS NOT to please everyone except yourself. and try to find yourself and who you really are :)
<em>Daisy bought two presents for the baby</em> is a simple sentence.
Explanation:
A simple sentence is a sentence consisting of only one independent clause. An independent clause is a clause that can stand on its own, as it contains one predicate and subject and has complete meaning. The sentence <em>Daisy bought two presents for the baby</em> has one subject (<em>Daisy</em>) and one predicate (<em>bought</em>), and has no subordinate clauses. That's why it's a simple sentence.
Compound sentences are sentences consisting of two or more independent clauses that contain related ideas. These independent clauses are connected by semicolons or coordinating conjunctions (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so).
Complex sentences are sentences consisting of an independent clause and subordinate (dependent) clauses, which don't have a complete meaning and because of that can't stand on their own.
Compound-complex sentences consist of at least two independent clauses and at least one dependent clause.
