Your feedback would be helpful for me. Let me know if you have any questions.

Parts of Speech: I'm curious--when I label words as prepositions or possessive pronouns in Monday Muddle, do you know what I mean? When I use abbreviations, do you know what they stand for? No shame if you don't--generations of students were not taught these things--but it would help me to know. Please let me know in the comments.

Monday Muddle: every day, everyday

LC May 24, 2021 Monday Muddle

Those who have been following me for a while might recognize this muddle. I’ve shared it before, but I thought it would be worth sharing again since I see this mistake so often. You might say that it’s an everyday occurrence.

Monday Muddle: every day: (quantifier + noun) each day; all days If putting "single" between "every" and "day" makes sense, you need a space. everyday: (adj) ordinary; routine; describes something that happens every day

Monday Muddle: compliment, complement

LC May 17, 2021 Monday Muddle

Here’s a trick to help you figure out which spelling you need. Complement, which means to complete, has the same first six letters as complete. Knowing that I should say nice things to people more often will help me remember that compliment has an i.

Monday Muddle: compliment: (n) an expression of praise, admiration or appreciation; (v) to give a compliment complement: (n) something that completes, makes whole, or brings to perfection; (v) to complete, make whole, or bring to perfection
