This looks like an issue that everyone needs to work on.
Jaquelyn, you have not used the past progressive; you used the present perfect. Taylor, you have written two independent clauses. Logan, you have used a comma splice to join two independent clauses.
Here is an example solution:
Because I was planning for this day, I am prepared to do well.
-"Because I was planning for this day" is a dependent clause. -"Because" is a subordinating conjunction, which makes the first part of the sentence a dependent clause. -"Was planning" is in the past progressive tense. -"I am prepared to do well" is an independent clause. -"Am" is in the simple present tense.

Write a sentence using the vocabulary and grammar indicated. Do not use a semi-colon.
Write a sentence using a dependent clause in the past progressive tense and an independent clause in the simple present tense:
Thomas studies hard each day, after he has played soccer,
Dependent Clause : Once Adam smashed the spider.
Past Progressive tense: I was riding my bike all day yesterday
Simple Present Tense: I eat eggs for breakfast.

Before I had been working, however, now I am reading a book.
