Doris: Your second sentence suggests that the sky covered the ground, and your third sentence uses a dependent clause.

Amanda: Your first sentence needs a comma after "That night". Your second sentence uses a prepositional phrase rather than a clause. And try to avoid using a semi-colon when you are combining your sentences.

Aman: Your first sentence uses an independent clause (just like your third sentence). Your second sentence uses a phrase (and the meaning seems a little odd).
