Answer 1

If you have honestly tried four times to get these right I would suggest that you meet with your teacher to let her/him know that you haven't learned what you need to know to accomplish the task and he/she needs to go over this stuff again.

Answer 2

Since you only say English proofreading I assume that all errors are to be corrected?
you have made many grammatical errors in your narrative. You made a whopper of one when you did not begin the word English with a capitol letter. When speaking of yourself, the I should always be capitalized. When you say: ive redone... there are 3 errors in those two words. I've re-done would be the proper way. can't is a contraction and MUST have an apostrophe. their is the word for more than one person's property.. THERE are 4 sentences. I do not think that you are studying English at all!! Maybe you just put this question here to pull the leg of an old codger like me??

1. In the first sentence I would re-state it thus:
Edwards lived in Stockbridge, Massachusetts for 8 years then moved to New Jersey. (you could change Massachusetts to an abbreviation but if you are writing for a paper or magazine, it is always better to use the full name for a state. The rule is; if you use one abbreviation, all such like things in that sentence or article should also be abbreviated and vice-versa.
2. She wrote in the same era as the Puritan poets (poets is plural, NOT a possessive, therefore no apostrophe is necessary) Bradstreet and Taylor.
3. Taylor's poem Huswifery uses a conceit.
4. A lot of poems, like Bradstreet's, used inversion to accommodate the demands of meter and rhyme.

If you have re-done this exercise 4X and are still missing some of the errors, I think it is time for you to either start a study group with some of your peers or find a tutor to help you out. It is obvious that you are missing something.

I would like to have seen what your corrections were and what you missed. If you are just using this mode to get help because you are lazy or haven't studied your material, shame-on-you!!!
There is just too much help available online that you could get yourself without stooping to what, in essence, is having someone else do your assignment for you. Please consider this before you come to this site again for homework help!!!

Answer 3

Try putting them this way:
1. After living in Stockbridge, Massachusetts for 8 years, Edwards moved to NJ.
2. Taylor and other puritan poets wrote at the same time as 'her name'
3. Using a conceit, Taylors poem Huisweifery (give effect)/
4. To accomosate the demands of meter and rhyme, many poems like Bradsheets used inversion.

Answer 4

(your sentence -->) 1. Edwards lived in Stockbridge, Massachusetts for 8 years he then moved to NJ.

This is two sentences put together with no period or semicolon otherwise to separate the two.

1) Edwards lived in Stockbridge, Massachusetts for 8 years, then moved to NJ.

or

1) Edwards lived in Stockbridge, Massachusetts for 8 years. Then he moved to NJ.

or

2) She wrote around the same time as the Puritan poets Bradstreet and Taylor.

3)Taylor's poem "Huswifery" uses a conceit.

4) A lot of poems, like Bradstreet's, used inversion to accommodate the demands of meter and ryhme.

"Alot" is a common misspelling of the words "a lot".

Answer 5

1) For eight years Edwards resided in Stockbridge, Massachusetts.
From there, he moved to N.J.
2) Her works were around the time of the puritan poets Bradstreet and Taylor.
3) Taylor's poem, Huswifery, utilizes favorable self-opinions.
4) Many poems, such as those of Bradstreet, use word reversals to accomodate the ever increasing demands for rhythmic lines or verses.

(note: I was taught that exact numbers less than 10 should be spelled out)
