Punctuation
Use punctuation accurately and spot errors: from capital letters to colons and everything between
Capital Letters
Know exactly when to use capital letters: sentence starts, proper nouns, the pronoun I and titles.
End Punctuation
Use full stops, question marks and exclamation marks correctly and spot common errors.
Using Commas Correctly
Apply comma rules for lists, coordinating conjunctions, fronted adverbials, parenthetical information, and non-defining relative clauses.
Apostrophes
Use apostrophes correctly for contractions and to show possession, including singular and plural possessives.
Direct Speech and Speech Marks
Punctuate direct speech correctly using inverted commas, commas, capital letters, and the rules for reporting clauses.
Colons and Semicolons
Use colons to introduce lists, explanations and quotations, and semicolons to join two closely related independent clauses.
Brackets, Dashes and Hyphens
Use brackets, paired dashes and paired commas to add parenthetical information, and hyphens to form compound adjectives.
