The correct answer is a comma. In this sentence, the word "after" is one of those
common starter words for an introductory clause that needs to be followed by a comma.
A clause is a group of words that have both a subject and a predicate, and they help
form a sentence. When, while, although, and since are other starter words that need to
take a comma after the introductory clause.

A. speaks
B. never
C. her
D. Heather - ANSWER A. speaks
A simple predicate is the verb in the sentence—an action word. The word never
describes the verb, Heather is the subject and her is a pronoun.
, Which is the corrcect verb form to use in this sentence?
My shower ___ a leak Friday night.
A. spranged
B. sprang
C. sprung
D. spring - ANSWER B. sprang
The action occurred in the past, therefore, sprang would be used because it is the
simple past tense of the word spring. You would only use sprung if it was preceded by
have, had, or has, as in "I noticed that my shower had sprung a leak."
Which of the following words is the correct form for each of the missing words?
The red car in the parking lot belonged to Sarah Jones. James knew that ____ car was
new and fast.
A. Sarah Joneses
B. Sarah Jones
C. Sarah Jone's
D. Sarah Jones's or Sarah Jones' - ANSWER D. Sarah Jones's or Sarah Jones'
Apostrophes show possession, and one is needed here to show that the car belongs to
Sarah Jones. Many references give different advice about how to do this when working
with words that end in s. Both of the constructions in this answer choice are identified
by some grammar resources as an acceptable way of doing so.
Sarah Jone's would mean that Sarah Jone owns the car.
Adding es to Jones would only pluralize Jones.
