Punctuation

If you still believe that punctuation has some importance... this is just the right exercise for you  ! Read this amusing story carefully and punctuate it. Put in the things that are missing: full stops(.) , commas (,) inverted commas (") , and question marks (?) . Also make capital letters where they are needed.




Remember that we use :


Full stops(.) at the end of a sentence .
Commas (,)to separate parts of a sentence showing a slight pause, or to separate the single things in a list. Inverted commas (") to show that someone else has written or said a word or phrase.
Question marks (?) at the end of a phrase or sentence to show that it is a question.
