This paragraph is about a student who misses classes because of two reasons, so you can begin with the two reasons why this student misses classes. For example, your paragraph might begin with "Sally missed class because she had a cold and she had to work."
When you write your paragraph, you must also use one example of "who" and one example of "whom." You use "who" when you would use the words "he" or "she," while you use the word "whom" when you would use the words "him" or "her." For example, you would write, "Sally is the girl who sits in the front row." You would use "whom" in a sentence such as "The teacher is the person to whom she made an excuse." You would use "whom" in the second sentence because you would write "to her" or "to him," so "who" becomes "whom" in this sentence.
The direct object in a sentence is what receives the action of the verb; an example is "I kicked the ball." In this sentence, "the ball" is the direct object. An indirect object occurs along with a direct object and explains to what or to whom an action is taken. An example is "Sally gave her note to the teacher." In this case, "note" is the direct object, while "teacher" is the indirect object (an indirect object often follows the words "to" or "for.")
When you use the active tense, a subject carries out an action. An example is "Sally wrote her paper." In the passive tense, the subject is not carrying out the action, and usually the subject occurs in a "by" phrase. An example is "The paper is written by Sally." After you write your paragraph, come up with an interesting title.
