Comma

MOVING SCHOOLS When I was young I encountered a lot of struggles that I had to overcome, [gradebuster #5: comma splice] and it took me a while, but eventually it happened. One of my struggles that I had to overcome was moving to a different school. I was ahhbout ten years old when I moved schools. It was difficult for me because I was so young, had loved my old school, I was going to be leaving all my friends that I had there, and starting my 5th grade year in a new environment.I felt scared…

semester in Ms. Wagner’s accelerated english class I learned many important writing techniques that massively improved my writing, like how to use TIQA format in paragraphs, how to avoid bad habits such as the use of “to be” verbs or the overuse of commas, and how to properly write a thesis statement. One of the first skills I learned this semester is how to organize my paragraphs into TIQA format. TIQA formatting is a way to set up a paragraph to keep it nice and neat. It stands for topic…

punctuations the author is using. Then teach Triven about the rules. Other reinforcing activities I can do are, having a paragraph with no punctuation at all, allowing Triven and I to create signs so that every time we see a (period, exclamation point, and comma) a certain punctuation we do a body movement, lastly I could create cardboard signs so it could be more like a game when working on punctuation. By using these strategies, it should help Triven improve his punctuation. Also, hopefully by…

Warren’s arguments are discriminative towards those with the disabilities as well as similar ones mentioned above, and to those who are in commas since her traits do not reside with them. Morally speaking, it is wrong to even have labels and categories to consider one a person, for a person’s value and identity should not be based on or limited to five essential traits. Traits proposed by one…

will be introducing. Starting out with an idea within an outline is something that helps throughout an essay, and that is what dramatically had influence in upon writing the final draft I feel like I should be more organized, and being able to remove commas where they do not belong. Also, making the full connections within the subject. Getting straight the point, instead of proceeding with information that confuses the reader. As in giving additional information that is not needed nor was…

skill I have valued learning the most this semester is how to properly use commas and dashes. Despite taking multiple “Advanced Placement English and Literature Composition” classes throughout high school I am amazed that I have been able to make it this far in my education without knowing the proper way to use a comma. I am so grateful to have learned this simple, yet crucial, skill—or else I would probably still put commas on the outside of quotation marks on graduate school applications.…

have paragraphs relate to your thesis statement. Have good punctuation in your essay like commas, exclamation points, and periods at the end of each sentence. I didn’t pass this class the very first time I took it, so I hope maybe this time around, it was worth it to learn from my past mistakes. Using good grammar and sentence structure is vital to your success in college writing courses. Having no comma splices is important because you don’t want to have two sentences together to make it an…

Last Day Diagnostic Today is my last day with English 101 and I’m pretty happy with how I have done over the course of these 15 weeks. English is certainly not my strongest class that I have taken and I often criticize my work, which makes it very difficult to write anything at all. I always have a lot to say but to get it down on a piece of paper is usually very hard for me. However, for this semester in English 101, I felt that I did a pretty good job at getting all my ideas down and have…

a lot of ways to prevent grammar errors. It is very important to avoid run on sentences. I learned to avoid run on sentences by using the correct semicolon or comma. I learned that to use a semicolon I need to have two sentences between a semicolon and the sentences need to be related. Also, I learned to prevent comma splashes. Use a comma to separate two independent clauses joined by a coordinating…

Strengths and weakness areas on Connect English is an important subject that I have to study, so I can finish my requirements to transfer to a good university. I will not be able to do so unless I know how to write in a proper way. In most of my college classes I will need to write essays and research papers. When writing papers and essays for my instructors, I am are required to write them in a formal proper way without any mistakes. During the connect session, I realized that I have…
