USE YOUR PUNCTUATION PACKET TO HELP YOU COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING EXERCISES Comma Rules Use a comma before a coordinating conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so) when it connects TWO COMPLETE SENTENCES. If it does NOT join TWO COMPLETE THOUGHTS, no comma is needed. Practice: Joe wanted to attend the game but he decided to do his report instead. Use commas between items in a series (three or more words, phrases, or clauses) Practice: They drove to the post office parked the car and unloaded the boxes. Use commas between adjectives of equal rank. Note: If switch the commas and the sentence does not make sense, then NO COMMAS are necessary. Which sentence would require commas? The big yellow dog bit me. The itchy scratchy sweater annoyed me. Use a comma after an introductory word, phrase, or clause. Practice: Yes I studied for the exam. Practice: After I studied I took a break. Practice: Screaming at the top of her lungs the girl yelled for her lost brother. Use a comma with parenthetical expressions (words/phrases that interrupt a thought). Put a comma on each side of the word/phrase that interrupts the sentence. Practice: Sarah as you know is one of the top students in the class. Practice: John however struggles in class. Practice: Her room unfortunately is a disaster. Use a commas on either sides of a non-essential phrase (a short or long expression that gives additional information about something in a sentence, but it is not necessary to understanding the sentence). Punctuate the TWO sentences that contain non-essential clauses. Florida one of the hottest states is my favorite vacation spot. The toy that he wants is very expensive. The girl who is in my English class is very quiet. January a cold winter month has the perfect weather for skiing. Use a semicolon (;) to connect TWO COMPLETE, CLOSELY RELATED THOUGHTS. Example: I want to fish; he wants to swim. Practice: I like pizza my husband likes steak. Use a semicolon to join TWO COMPLETE THOUGHTS JOINED WITH A CONJUNCTIVE ADVERB or TRANSITIONAL EXPRESSION (therefore, however, consequently, also, as a result, in fact, etc.) Place a semicolon before the conjunctive adverb and a comma after it. Example: I love animals; however, tigers scare me. Practice: I had been there before as a result I didn't pay attention to the directions. Practice: It's time to study also your room needs cleaned. Use a colon (:) to introduce a list or explanatory word/phrase/clause. Make sure a COMPLETE SENTENCE comes BEFORE the colon. Otherwise, do not use a colon. Example: Pack the following items for vacation: two bathing suits, your goggles, and sunscreen. Practice: She listed her three favorite subjects math, science, and English. Practice: There is only one lesson to be learned from this experience Think before you speak. List characteristics and examples next to each genre of literature Genre Characteristics Example we read in class Myth Legend Epic Fairy Tale Parody Know the plot and characters of “Damon and Pythias,” “Ashputtle,” “Cupid and Psyche,” King Arthur legends, and Don Quixote.
