      Antonio,

      You are missing a word in this sentence. Place the proper punctuation in your sentence and put in the missing word, then repost. :)

      President Obama's lets move campaign has increased the stamina of children making them indefatigable.

      I am proud of you for following directions and attempting to correctly punctuate your sentences.

      The correct way to do it: President Obama's, "Let's Move" Campaign, has increased the stamina of children-making them indefatigable.
      (It is First Lady Obama's campaign. ;-) )

    At the end of the round Pacquio was inauspicious we already knew Mayweather won.

    Coach said it may be necessary to get 8-10 hours sleep so we can wake up indefatigable before a football game

      Craig,

      You need to revise your sentences and add punctuation. For example (a way to fix the first sentence): At the end of the boxing round, Pacquaio's adrenaline ran high and he could have been described as indefatigable.

      Now you try it!

    Yesterday was an 'inauspicious' day since I was chased by two ghosts. One was 'incorporeal' and the other was 'incorrigible' but thankfully I am 'indefatigable'.

    The mischievious child was sent to the principles office, for her incorrigible behavior was just intolerable.The childs parent believed there little girls behavior was inauspicious.Therefore they grounded her for a week.The child, left alone,spent hours talking to an imaginary friend which was actually incorporeal.Or you could say that it was unable to be detected by others,but she seemed indefatigable.Her conversations with her ghostly friend continued for hours.

    This was an inauspicious beginning for the long trip to California. My sister spent the whole ride talking to this incorporeal animal. My brother had the most incorrigible behavior, and my mother kept going on and on about herself as if she was indefatigable.It was the worst ride ever.

      I is capitalized and so is the first letter of your sentence.

      I like the message of your sentence. :-)

    I am not very inauspicious when there are activities I do not want take action in. The one that was locked up had acts that were incorporeal. His action were to incorrigible because he did to many bad decisions. If I work out a lot and continuing with it I can be indefatigable. Michael West 1A/B
