The Inuit would put a small piece of feather over the hole and stand with bone harpoon ready and when the seal came into the hole the air pushing ahead of its body would ruffle the feather and the hunter would lunge with the harpoon and bury the barber head in the seal.
Q: why do three different verb forms in this passage occur with “would”? What does the use of “would” convey here?
All assistance that contribute to revising this answer is greatly appreciate.

assignment#10B
A coyote perhaps, brush wolf as they called the up north, or maybe a timber wolf, two wolves, one begging from the other.
What is the sentence type her, and why?
OA: This sentence has one dependent clause with “they” as the subject and “called” as the verb. So it’s a fragment.
RA: “A coyote, perhaps, brush wolf as they called them up north” is the only clause in this sentence with “they called” as the subject verb combination. So with only one dependent clause we can conclude that this sentence is a fragment-complex sentence.

Q: According to the story, what is a “grapnel,” and how does it work exactly?
OA: A “grapnel” is a more bigger peace than a bow. It releases the arrow very fast so it’s hard to miss your target. This is what David used to hunt with.
RA: A grapnel is a small anchor with four inches rounded point. In the book Brian would drop the hook and let it bite into the weeds and mud on the bottom and tie it off to the bow of the canoe to hold on to it.

Assignement #5
This two sentences are simple because they only have one independent clause.( http://www.cambronrebeca.blogspot.com/).
This is an example of a complex sentence with one independent clause and a dependent clause introduced by the subordinator “because”.
In these sentences, there are only one independent clause. (http://yjpapaya.blogspot.com/).
Student #2 here used a beautiful simple sentence. One subject verb combination (there – are) , one clause making complete sense, a simple sentence.
We want it to goes the ways we want. (http://minh-khieu.blogspot.com/).
This sentence has two subject verb combinations (we-want) where both make sense alone. Nice example of a compound sentence.
The sentence has two subject-verbs, and both of them are independent clauses because the clause which is “so that pretty much wiped out the four-million-dollar boats” starts with “so” to combine these two independent clauses. (http://chin-yin.blogspot.com/).
This sentence is compound complex because it has four subject verb combination with two dependent clauses and two independent clauses.
