On-Blog Quiz

When I began working on the Diana Hacker website I found different topics that showed me how to write better. When you chose a topic you could answer questions about the subject. You always had two different answers that you could choose from. One of the topics I learned more about was active and passive verbs. While I was working on the passive and active verbs I did not think I was going to have that hard of a time with them, but I did. Another topic that I worked on and felt I did well with was Wordy Sentences. The way this topic worked was all of the answer were either omit the underlined word or to keep the underlined word. One of the more interesting topics was Run on Sentences. I struggled more than I thought I would, but I think it was one of the more educational topics I looked at. An example for Run on Sentences is "Tom is hiding because he accidentally killed a man in a fight". After that we are suppose to choose if it was a run on sentence or it is okay the way it is. Overall I thought the website was easy to understand and I learned somethings on it.
