Get help on your homework!

Subject: English grammar
Concept: I finish my essay and need grammar checking
Current grade/year (optional): grade 7
Extra notes: This is a 2 page story. (Also, need to turn in on monday) You willing to start a conversation with me so I can paste my story there? (My grammar is sh8t)

 

So basically I'll just explain what I like to call COP

C - Capitzalization, only capitalize the first word of a sentence or a proper name (example: United States). This step is pretty straight forward.
O - Orthograph (spelling) if you are having trouble with this, perhaps take some online vocabulary tests or spelling tests to make sure you are spelling and using the right words you want. Google is super helpful with this.
P - Punctuation: Basically putting the right kind of sentence ending (period if it's normal exclamation if it's something important or question mark if it's a question) as well as apostrophes on contraction words like don't and wasn't.

Commas:
Purdue OWL is a good resource. I'll explain what the link says below, but it's essentially a repeat of what's in the link.
Use commas to separate independent clauses; they will precede conjunctions (an independent clause is a sentence). For instance:

Take the sentences "Emma likes pie" and "Emma hates cake." You can join these together with a comma and a conjunction: "Emma like pie, but she hates cake." Note that here, you have to leave the latter part of the sentence as a complete sentence (the "she hates cake" part) and not take out the noun. "Emma likes pie, but hates cake" would be incorrect as the clause coming after the comma is now dependent as opposed to independent. The sentence would instead be "Emma likes pie but hates cake" is you took out the second noun.

You can also use commas to surround phrases (incomplete sentences which provide information about a specified subject). Types of phrases include (but are not limited to) present participial phrases ("Running out of breath, Emma stopped jogging"), past participial phrases ("Tired from running, Emma collapsed into her chair"), appositive phrases ("A silly mythical creature, CypriotMerkz was allegedly spotted yesterday"), and absolute phrases ("His efforts successful in explaining the content, KingDG happily finished typing"). Notice that the phrases are always surrounded by commas. Note that these were all sentence-opening phrases--phrases can also separate the subject and verb of a sentence ("Emma, a curious student, read KingDG's explanation"), and they can also end a sentence ("Emma read KingDG's explanation, the cure to Emma's confusion"). In both of these cases too, the phrases were surrounded by commas.

Commas can be additionally used to separate information not related to the main clause.
Examples:

• "If you turn the light on, do not look directly at it."
• "When the light is on, do not look directly at it."
• "To prevent blindness, do not look directly at the sun."

Use commas to separate information that, if removed, will not affect the sentence's meaning. A good example would be the "if removed" in this tip. "Use commas to separate information that will not affect the sentence's meaning" is essentially the same as the original sentence above.

Commas are used to separate elements of a list that do not have commas already within them.
Examples of this:

• Emma's favorite foods include bananas, apples, and oranges.
• Emma felt happy, enthusiastic, and optimistic all at the same time.

Clarification: What did I mean by "do not have commas already within them"?
Example of using commas to separate elements of a list that do have commas already within them (the following sentence are thus examples of incorrect comma usage):

• Emma planned out her day: first, she would go to school, then, she would go to the store, finally, she would go home.

Notice how in the above example the three lists are as follows:

• "first, she would go to school"
• "then, she would go to the store"
• "finally, she would go home"

These elements have commas within them, so they should not be separated by commas.

When dealing with list elements that have commas within them, separate them with semi-colons.
I'll do this with the above example to fix it: "Emma planned out her day: first, she would go to school; then, she would go to the store; finally, she would go home."

Use commas to separate two similar adjectives describing the same noun.
For instance, "sad" and "angry" are similar adjectives in that they both describe how one feels. Thus, if the two adjectives are used in succession to describe the same noun, they must be separated by a comma.

Examples:

• Emma was in a sad, angry mood after she lost the competition.
• The cozy, warm blue blankets were distributed to the soldiers. (Notice that here, while "cozy" and "warm" are similar, the same cannot be said of "blue" and "warm"--and thus I did not separate them with a comma.)

Use commas to separate different pieces of information.
Examples:

• The player was determined to get his first diamond, even obsessed. (Here, obsessed and determined are two separate pieces of information.)
• The concert was on December 25th, 2016. (A notable exception would be to never separate the month and day of a date with a comma even though they are different pieces of information. Other aspects of dates, however, should be separated--such as the day and year as shown here.)
• I do not live in Dallas, Texas.

Use commas to separate the speaker and his or her speech in dialogue.
Examples:

• Ghandi is often incorrectly credited with the quote, "Be the change you wish to see in the world."
• "Wow," KingDG exclaimed, "this is a long post."

Also, if you're American, the punctuation should go inside the quotes; if you're from the UK, it goes on the outside.

Periods:
These are pretty straightforward. Use periods when you wish to end a sentence.

Exclamation Marks
Use exclamation marks to end sentences or exclamatory remarks with strong emotion.
