Rules
- Capital letters: sentence starts, names, days, titles.
- Comma: lists, after connectors, before coordinating conjunctions.
- Apostrophe: ownership and contractions.
- Quotation marks: direct speech.
Example
- The teacher said, “Open your books.”
Key idea
Accurate punctuation (capitals, commas, apostrophes, quotation marks) makes writing clear and correct.
Remember
Put a comma before 'and', 'but' or 'so' when they join two full sentences.
