This is the link to review simple, complex and compound sentences:

Remember that a simple sentence has a subject, a predicate and is a complete thought.

An independent clause = simple sentence.

A dependent clause has a subject and predicate but is not a complete thought. 

Complex sentences are made up of one or more dependent clauses and an independent clause.

Compound sentences are made up of two independent clauses that are joined together by a coordinating conjunction or a semicolon (;).

Wednesday September 17, 2014

What I did today: 

First, I went to the metro and I went to eat; I ate chicken wings.

Then, I went to see the Arc De Triomph and the Eiffel Tower.

The Eiffel Tower was so cool!!! I went up  to the last  floor of the Eiffel Tower!

DAY2

Hello teacher,

Today I went to walk in Champs Élysées. 

It is a great boulevard full of great stores and good restaurants.

Everything there is very expensive, I saw a drees for 1600€!!!!!

I ate a pizza in a restaurant that my mom told me is one of the best restaurants in that street.

Then I went to see the Arc de Triomphe.

That is a monument that Napoleon constructed to commemorate his victory at the battle of Austerlitz. In that monument is the Tomb of the Unknown soldier it consists on a flame that never is put out. My grandfather told me that one drunk Mexican put out the flame by peeing on it.   (Shame on him).

Then we went to see the newest cars of Renault and Toyota it was awesome.

Suddenly a great storm made us run and take refuge in a store of the soccer team Paris Saint Germaine and I took advantage and bought my new jersey because on Sunday I will go to see the soccer match of PSG VS LYON.

AND THAT WAS ANOTHER GREAT DAY!

Day 3

Today we started early and we went walking to Place de la Concorde.

It has an obelisc of 30 m constructed with only one rock!!!!!!

Then we crossed the Tulleries Gardens to arrive to Louvre Museum.

There, we saw the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, the writing on the tombs, and a mummy of the Egyptians.

Then we went to eat a baguette.

Then we went to Notre Dame and we saw the gargoyles.

Then we took a boat in the Seine River to see Paris from a different way.

And that was another amazing day :)

Day 4

Today we went to the aquarium and we saw many fishes, it was awesome.

We saw sharks, clown fish, morenas, piranhas, sea stars, a big octopus, etc.

The aquarium was so amazing and fun.

Then we went to  an interactive  museum called Palaice Du Couverte  that has very interestering things but I didn't understand anything because it  is in French.

Then we went to eat pizza, it was delicious.

Then we came back home.

Day 5 

First we went to a museum of the First and Second World War it was very sad to see all the dead people.
Then we went to eat a baguette.

We walked to Champs Elisees to have an ice cream. 

Then we came  home walking.

Then my grandfather and I went to the football match of PARÍS SAINT GERMAIN VS LYON. 

The PSG started winning the game with a goal of Cavani, then a goal of David Luis and then of Zlatan Ivragimovic 3-0.
