Corrected sentence: The pigeon softly coos, and all the animal friends are glad to join the chorus.

What to fix:

  • Capitalization: Don't write COOS in all capitals. Use coos (small letters) unless you are shouting or showing special emphasis.
  • Punctuation: The comma before and is okay but not necessary here. You can also write: The pigeon softly coos and all the animal friends are glad to join the chorus.
  • Words: Everything else is good. The sentence is clear and nice.

Parts of the sentence (easy):

  • The pigeon = who the sentence is about (the subject).
  • softly = tells how the pigeon coos (an adverb).
  • coos = the action the pigeon does (the verb).
  • all the animal friends are glad to join the chorus = the second part that tells what the other animals do.

Other simple ways to say this:

  • The pigeon coos softly, and the other animals join in.
  • The pigeon softly coos. All the animal friends are happy to sing along.

Nice sentence — just change the all-caps word and you are done. Great work!
