Punctuation:
Apostrophes, Brackets, Commas, Colons, Dashes, Hyphens, Parentheses, Quotation Markes, & Semicolons
Punctuation
When it comes to punctuation, there may be no better guide than the aptly named THE PUNCTUATION GUIDE website, but the "Writing Guide" (located in our Writer's Toolbox) comes a close second. Go to the sites below, and search for information about the punctuation marks you need to learn and understand. Most of the sites have practice exercises that you can complete to test your knowledge and understanding. Look for uncommon rules and exceptions to rules. And remember: Punctuation can save Grandma, relationships, and Rachel Ray's dog.
