Grammar
-Make sure you dot your I’s and cross your t’s. Use PUNCTUATION and try your best to make sure its correct, at least the basics.
The period - Use it, don’t run whole paragraphs into one long sentence. Make sure each sentence comes to a complete and understandable end. You don’t want others to have to read 10 times before figuring out what you meant.
The comma- This is to put small descriptive add-ons into a sentence…you will use them around the things the sentence could hold up on its own without…the extras.
------ ex- She walked, her dress flowing, into the street.
(Ellipse- the 3 dots ...- This represents an expressed pause in speech or thought. Always THREE dots.
