commas?

separate clauses in complex
sentences.

football, which had been signed
by Wayne Rooney.

12. WHERE WE USE COMMA?
• Use a comma after a dependent clause that starts a sentence.
Example: “when I went running, I saw a duck.”
• A dependent clause is a Grammatical unit that contains both subject and verb but
cannot stand on its own, Like
Example: “when I went running…”commas always follow these clauses at the
start of a sentence.”

use a colon after a complete sentence to
introduce the list of items and also use it after the
greeting of the person’s name in business letter.

14. Example…

the house: chips, cold, pizza, peanut butter
and candy.

spent all Saturday and Sunday in the
emergency room.

The question mark has a very simple
function in writing — it indicates a

22. The apostrophe ( ' or ' ) character is a
punctuation mark, it is a Latin alphabet. In English it is
used for several purposes: The marking of the omission of
one or more letters (as in the contraction of do not to
don't).
Apostrophe (’)

EXAMPLE…
See also it's or its?

23. Apostrophes showing omission
An apostrophe can be used to show that letters or numbers
have been omitted. Here are some examples of apostrophes
that indicate missing letters:
I’m - short for I am
he’ll - short for he will
she’d – short for she had or she would
pick ’n’ mix - short for pick and mix
it’s hot - short for it is hot
didn’t - short for did not

24. A slash or slant or solidus or virgule [ / ] (take your pick
of names) is used to indicate a choice between the
words it separates.
There are two types of slashes: a backslash () and a forward slash (/).
The backslash is used only for computer coding. The forward slash, often
simply referred to as a slash, is a punctuation mark used in English.
EXAMPLE…
When leaving the classroom, the teacher noticed
that a student had left his/her backpack.
Burgers or pizza for dinner? Yeah, either/or is fine
with me.
SLASH: (/)

25. To Form Abbreviations
Slashes can also be used to form some abbreviations or
shortened forms of words or phrases, although these
shouldn’t be used in formal writing.
w/o = without = with c/o = care of (used when posting a
letter or parcel) a/c = air conditioning
Notice that in these cases, no space is necessary after the
slash.
