Ok, good.
Now we will go on to the rules of motion when proceeding from chord to another with all 4 parts/voices.
1) Consecutive or parallel perfect 5ths and octaves/unisons are not allowed.
2) Try to keep common tones in any part when progressing from one chord to another.
3) You must avoid approaching perfect 5ths and octaves by means of similar motion.
4) When the leading tone appears in the Soprano it must resolve up to the tonic in the following chord.
5) Avoid similar motion of all 4 voices (for now).
There are other "rules"/guidelines but as we continue I will point them out.
