Hi, I'm having English A2 Standard Level (first year) and our first assignment is to write an argumentative paragrapf. I just got done with it and I wonder if it's good or not, so please comment it .Thank you. Min: 10 sentences. Max: 18 sentences.Senctences: 12. It is clearly visible...

In my high school, you could buy school supplies there, clothing with the school name or mascot, and -- if memory serves -- candy. It was open before and after school and during lunch. If you realized you'd left all pencils at home and you had math, you could run in and get what you needed.

Thanks, Avangi.One last question for you.Would it be OK if I had saidTibe had been ruled by spiritual leaders for years.I believe it would be fine.I wonder why when I add an adjectival phrase (may not be the right term, I mean the who part) it becomes wrong. Perhaps I didn't put commas before...

I can see both meanings here before and after - it is not clear to me from the sentence which came first

Thanks, Avangi. I missed 'Just as'.Please give me a comment on this: "The reason I'm here tonight is because the Democratic voters have made their choice, and so have I,"I think both clauses before and after and are independent ones so and is normally used, right?
