This week we are going to do the following: discuss punctuation - particularly how to use commas, semi-colons, colons, and dashes correctly. We going to look at simple, compound and complex sentences and discuss the difference (also why someone would use a variety of each). And, we are going to begin to read DAWN.
As a warm up let us be with a few grammar exercises.
The following are from the book EATS SHOOTS & LEAVES by Lynne Truss. Please move the punctuation, add punctuation or quotations to correct the sentence.
1) Leonora walked on her head, a little higher than usual.
2) The driver managed to escape from the vehicle before it sank and swam to the river-bank.
3) Don't guess, use a timer or watch.
4) The convict said the judge is mad.
