Fall 2003

Student Name: LaJuane

Punctuation:

1. Check capitals: Do you need the capital?
For example, I Realy Injoy the sport. I like Hiting and running.
You don't need the capitals on really, enjoy or hitting.
Ask yourself the question: Is this the beginning of a sentence?
Is this a name?
Capitalize names of streets — Kerby Street, Killingsworth Street

2. Run-on sentences: Do you have two or more sentences strung together without punctuation?
Count the number of words in each sentence. Put the number in the margin. If the number is large, you might have a run-on. If the number is small you might have an incomplete sentence.
You wrote: Start with fifty if you need more I will give it to you. This breaks down to three sentences:
Start with fifty. If you need more, I will give it to you.

Spelling/Vocabulary:

1. Common errors: it's = it is; its = possessive
