Hello Lisa,You are doing excellent work and hope you keep studying.
Very good exercise!
My father is going to finish his work before 3p.m. today. [Though it is OK to write "pm," it is more correct to use the periods, as I have shown.] He came late from work yesterday, as he needed to complete a sale report. My mother is wearing a beautiful dress, and she is waiting for him to take her to a friend's wedding. [There are two independent clauses with a conjunction (and) between them. It is necessary to add a comma before the conjunction.] Yesterday, she stayed at home and watched television alone. My brother and his friends are doing a dance performance at school for Teacher Day. They did final rehearsal yesterday until midnight. The girl is fighting with her boyfriend in the garden, but yesterday they kissed and hugged each other there. You are firing two of your staffs because of their bad attitude. They used company facilities without permission yesterday. I am visiting my friend in the hospital now because yesterday she had a car accident.
