To create an APA website citation, you’ll need the following information: author, publication date, title of the page, website name, and the URL.
In cases where there is no author, you can list the title of the article first. Retrieval dates are only needed for pages that will likely be updated frequently.
When you cite the electronic version of a print publication (e.g., a magazine, newspaper, or dictionary), you add the URL to the end of the typical print reference format.

Correlative conjunction examplesTobin will compete in both swimming and biking.

English has four primary demonstrative adjectives: “this,” “that,” “these,” and “those.” Demonstrative adjectives give information about the location of a noun or pronoun.
The choice of demonstrative adjective depends on the number (singular or plural) and the relative distance (near or far) of the noun being modified.
A compound predicate is made up of two or more verbs that share the same subject and are joined by a conjunction (e.g., “We walked and talked”).
Compound predicates include any of the verbs’ objects and modifiers. The verbs or verb phrases are joined using the coordinating conjunctions “and,” “or,” “nor,” “but,” or “yet” or a correlative conjunction (e.g., “either … or“).
Compound predicate examplesThey are driving to Dallas and then flying to New York.
