PUNCTUATION 2SEMICOLON, COLON, HYPHEN, APOSYTROPHY, AND QUOTATION MARKS
WHY DO WE NEED PUNCTUATION? Punctuation allows the authors writing to be easy to read and understandable for the reader.
QUOTATION MARKS Rule: Use quotation marks to set off a direct quotation. Example: What is your favorite color? she asked. Rule: Periods and commas always go inside quotation marks. Example: I dont want to go to school today, Alan said.
QUOTATION MARKS Enclose both parts of a divided quotation in quotation marks. Do not capitalize the first word of the second part unless it begins with a new sentence. EX. Johnny, dear, said Sue, bending over her, will you promise me to keep you eyes closed, and do not look at the window until I am done working?
COLON Rule: Use the colon after a complete sentence to introduce a list of items. Example: On my trip I will bring: clothes, a pillow, a sleeping bag, a toothbrush, and my teddy bear. Rule: Use the colon after the greeting of the persons name in a business letter. Example: Dear Mr. Smith:
COLON Rule: Use a colon to introduce a long or formal quotation. EX. Martin Luther King, Jr. said: No, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like water, and righteousness like a mighty stream.
SEMICOLON Rule: Use semicolon to separate items of a series if one or more of these items contain commas. EX. In the raffle draw, first prize is the Caribbean cruise; second prize a trip to Hong Kong; and third prize is a trip to Bohol.
SEMICOLON Rule: Use semicolon before a conjunctive adverb that joins the clauses of a compound sentence (therefore, however, otherwise, consequently, nevertheless, moreover, and besides). EX. They left he house early; however, they were still late.
APOSTROPHE Rule: Use the apostrophe when combining two words. It is always placed in the spot where the letter(s) have been removed. Example: Shes (she is) only allowed candy on Friday. Rule: Use the apostrophe to show possession. Place the apostrophe before the s. Example: They found Ms. Connors gloves.
APOSTROPHE Rule: Use the apostrophe to show an omission of figures in a date. Example: Class of 80 Band of 90 Rule: Use the apostrophe to show plurals of letters, numbers, signs and words referred to as words. Example: There are three ps in the word Philippines. Her name Lynn is spelled with two ns.
HYPHEN Rule: Use hyphen between the syllables divided at the end of the line. Example: Irwin and his friends attended the graduation ball held at the presti- gious hotel. Rule: Use hyphen in compound numbers from twenty-one to ninety-nine. Example: seventy-five volunteers Forty-three little candles.
HYPHEN Rule: Use hyphen in fraction Example: one-fourth of pizza Rule: Use hyphen in certain compound nouns. Example: editor-in-chief
