5. We went to the beach and we built sandcastles
- Original: We went to the beach and we built sandcastles
- Analysis:
- The sentence is a complete statement and ends with a period.

6. The cat was sleeping she woke up when we entered
- Original: The cat was sleeping she woke up when we entered
- Analysis:
