LA - Punctuation Lesson

 

Punctuation

Some punctuation can be pretty straightforward, like when to use a period or a question mark at the end of a sentence. Other grammatical rules such as commas and plural versus possessive nouns can be a little trickier. This lesson will review all of the comma rules as well as when and when not to use apostrophes.

Commas, Commas, and more Commas!

Please view the following presentation to review when it is necessary to use commas.

 

Plural versus Possessive Nouns

When you have more than one noun, you simply put an -s or -es to pluralize the noun.

More than one cat = cats

More than one Jones = Joneses

When you are showing possession, you need to use an apostrophe.

One dog = The dog's bone

More than one student = The students' grades

If the noun is already plural, then the apostrophe comes after the -s.  If the noun is singular, add an apostrophe and an -s.

Complete this self-assessment to review commas and apostrophes.
