Correct sentence: The dog guards the home and runs to his snug doggy house to stay warm during storms.

Let's look at small parts:

  • Who? The dog. This is the one we are talking about.
  • What does he do? He guards the home and runs to his house. These are action words called verbs.
  • Why does he run? to stay warm — this tells the reason.
  • When? during storms — this tells when he runs.
  • Words that describe: snug and doggy tell us what the house is like. These are describing words (adjectives).
  • His shows the house belongs to the dog (possession).
  • Comma note: We do not need a comma before "and" here because the same dog does both actions (guards and runs).

Quick practice: Can you point to the two action words? (guards, runs)
