Good effort, Sarah. But you've added a clause in your first sentence, rather than a phrase. And in your second sentence, the use of a semicolon should be a hint that you've added an independent clause rather than a dependent one.

Well done, Victoria and Alexandra!

Good try, Marsha. But in your second sentence, you've added a prepositional phrase rather than a clause.

Good try, Yousa. But watch the grammar in your third sentence.
