Punctuation
Have I used –
 Full stops at the end of a sentence?
 Commas to show a ‘pause’ in a sentence?
 Speech marks when someone is talking?
 A question mark when there is a question?
 An exclamation mark to make a sentence stand out?
Avoid basic mistakes!
There – ‘It is over there’ (location)
Their – ‘That is their house’ (belonging)
They’re – ‘They’re going to a party’ (they are)
Was – single ‘I was’
Were – plural – they were
