Lesson 2: Grammar and Punctuation

This lesson introduces basic sentence structure. It provides an overview of punctuation marks and their uses, and demonstrates the importance of proper grammatical construction.

Why Grammar and Punctuation are Important

Using proper grammar and punctuation helps to make sentences easy to read and reduces the chances of your writing being misunderstood. Without punctuation, it's often possible to interpret a piece of written information in more than one way. For example, "Cheryl read the book", without punctuation, could mean that Cheryl read the book in the past (properly written as "Cheryl read the book.") or that Cheryl is being instructed to read the book now ("Cheryl, read the book.")

In this lesson, we'll look at assorted punctuation marks, examining what they're for and when they should be used. You'll find the recommended grammar guide web pages useful for further reading.
