We skipped ahead a few lessons, so don't panic- as there are new dress ups and sentence openers that we haven't introduced yet. Try your best. www.asia clause is any of the words in a sentence, and -ing opener would be starting a sentence, (ie. Amazing grace was shown...) Be sure to mark your papers like the Evil Ka-wevil example in the margins, with a highlighter, and bold.
