Study Notes
Capitalization rules
- Proper nouns should be capitalized; last names, places, and towns, such as Romano, Belluno, and Italy.
Combining Sentences
- Use conjunctions when combining sentences, such as and or but, to improve clarity and flow.
Punctuation
- Use commas to separate a list of items, such as hide-and-go-seek, tag, and capture the flag, or, Anthony, Ben in a sentence.
- Use an exclamation mark (!), when a character is shouting, for example, ’Hey let’s go!’.
- Use quotation marks (“”) to indicate a character’s speech, such as “Hey let’s go,” Anthony yelled.
Transition Phrases
- Transition phrases create cohesion between sentences, for example, in fact can be used to show the action of cutting wood was a demonstration of the brother’s strength.
Sentence Structure
- Rearranging words to improve clarity: One day in the winter when Anthony was outside, he saw a real dragon.
Verb Tense
- Ensure the verb is in the correct tense: Anthony and Ben rode to the mountain to fight the dragon.
Spelling
- Understand correct spelling, such as whistled.
Adjectives
- Adjectives are descriptive words: order them logically, for example, huge red bright dragon.
Synonym Usage
- Assist can be used as a synonym for help, for example, The two brothers were proud that they were able to assist the people of their town.
Phrases
- Whipped together suggests the spear was made quickly.
Rewriting Sentences
