Please help me correct these sentences if there is an error somewhere. Thanks.

The sky is beautiful.


Compund Sentences


Sabbath is the best day ever for I lay down all work and think of God's goodness all day long.


I love sitting on a high rock for I have a clear view of the land so vast and free and the blazing, setting sun.


Complex Sentences

 

The crickets cricket and the frogs croak when the night draws nigh.

Life has never been so beautiful since Jesus came into my heart.

 

Compund Complex Sentences


The lizard aimed the fly and caught it in a flash, as it was buzzing in the air.

I love putting on sundresses, for when the wind blows, they gently dance and let me feel the wind's caress.

 Hi,

Please help me correct these sentences if there is an error somewhere. Thanks.

above are OK


 

Compund Sentences


Sabbath is the best day ever for I lay down all work and think of God's goodness all day long.


I love sitting on a high rock for I have a clear view of the land so vast and free and the blazing, setting sun.

 

'For' is like 'because' here. That makes the last part of each sentence a subordinate clause.

So, these are not compound.


Complex Sentences

 

The crickets cricket and the frogs croak when the night draws nigh.

Life has never been so beautiful since Jesus came into my heart.

 above are OK

 

Compund Complex Sentences


The lizard aimed the fly and caught it in a flash, as it was buzzing in the air.

OK

 

I love putting on sundresses, for when the wind blows, they gently dance and let me feel the wind's caress.

Same problem with 'for' as previously described. You need a second main independent clause.

 

Some of your sentences also have other problems.

 

Best wishes, Clive
