How many ways can you organize the supporting paragraphs of a compare and contrast essay?
There are several ways you can organize paragraphs in a compare/contrast essay. One way would be to compare all the similarities, then discuss the contrasting differences. Another way would be to write one paragraph on one point of similarity, then a paragraph contrasting one difference. The essay could then be continued in this alternating fashion. Finally, you could write a point of comparison and a point of contrast within each paragraph. The best way would vary depending on the specific topic.

The Greens bought a new house. They will move in soon.
John is coming, he will be here at four.

How do you know if a sentence is a run on or comma splice?
A RUN-ON SENTENCE (sometimes called a "fused sentence") has at least two parts, either one of which can stand by itself (in other words, two independent clauses), but the two parts have been smooshed together instead of being properly connected. Review, also, the section which describes Things That Can Happen Between Two Independent Clauses.
It is important to realize that the length of a sentence really has nothing to do with whether a sentence is a run-on or not; being a run-on is a structural flaw that can plague even a very short sentence:The sun is high, put on some sunblock.
An extremely long sentence, on the other hand, might be a "run-off-at-the-mouth" sentence, but it can be otherwise sound, structurally. Click here to see a 239-word sentence that is a perfectly fine sentence (structurally)
When two independent clauses are connected by only a comma, they constitute a run-on sentence that is called a comma-splice. The example just above (about the sunscreen) is a comma-splice. When you use a comma to connect two independent clauses, it must be accompanied by a little conjunction (and, but, for, nor, yet, or, so).
The sun is high, so put on some sunscreen.
Run-on sentences happen typically under the following circumstances*:
- When an independent clause gives an order or directive based on what was said in the prior independent clause:This next chapter has a lot of difficult information in it, you should start studying right away. (We could put a period where that comma is and start a new sentence. A semicolon might also work there.)
- When two independent clauses are connected by a transitional expression (conjunctive adverb) such as however, moreover, nevertheless.Mr. Nguyen has sent his four children to ivy-league colleges, however, he has sacrificed his health working day and night in that dusty bakery. (Again, where that first comma appears, we could have used either a period --- and started a new sentence --- or a semicolon.)
- When the second of two independent clauses contains a pronoun that connects it to the first independent clause.This computer doesn't make sense to me, it came without a manual. (Although these two clauses are quite brief, and the ideas are closely related, this is a run-on sentence. We need a period where that comma now stands.) Most of those computers in the Learning Assistance Center are broken already, this proves my point about American computer manufacturers. Again, two nicely related clauses, incorrectly connected --- a run-on. Use a period to cure this sentence. I hope this helps if not sorry!:D

Of course not, logic demands certain risks. Life demands certain risks. Think of this:
A person takes a risk, though very small, every time he sits down. He is taking a risk of falling if that chair or seat does not hold him up.
Most people drive; driving is an extremely dangerous activity. Statistically, you are more likely to die in a car wreck than from other "more risky" activities.
So, no, all risk is not bad or unnecessary We take many simple and small risks every day.
Business Risk
No. The principle in business is balancing risks against rewards, and this is a primary goal in most other activities as well.
It depends on the context of your sentence. "Given" is used for talking about something that is provided or awarded, while "gave" is used to indicate the past tense of the action of giving.
How do you change direct speech to indirect speech of pronouns?
To change direct speech to indirect speech for pronouns, you generally need to replace the pronouns with their corresponding indirect or reported speech pronouns. For example, 'I' in direct speech would change to 'he' or 'she' in indirect speech depending on the gender. Ensure that the pronouns match the subject of the reported speech and maintain the correct tense and meaning of the original statement.
