ASSESSMENT INSTRUCTION Provide answers to all of the questions below: Question 1 List and explain five basic rules for grammar. 1. Use active voice. Active sentences have this formula: S (subject) + V (verb) + O (object): Thomas walks a dog. In this sentence, Thomas is the subject, walks is the verb (what Thomas does), and his dog is the object (the receiver of Thomas’s action). 2. Link ideas with a conjunction. You can combine two S+V+O sentences with these coordinating conjunctions: but, or, so, and, yet, for, nor. For instance: 2

Anna likes coffee, but her brother prefers tea. 3. Use a comma to connect two ideas. When writing, don’t forget to add a comma before the coordinating conjunction: He’s seventy, yet he still swims regularly. 4. Use a serial comma in a list. The serial comma is the last in the list, so make sure not to forget it when writing. It comes before and: Hardy has a dog, a cat, and a goldfish. Always use the same parts of speech in your list. In the above sentence, we have three nouns. 5. When writing, use a semicolon to join two ideas (in this case, you don’t need coordinating conjunction). Let’s look at an example: Mary's dog is hyperactive; it won't stop barking or sit still. Question 2 When using punctuations, what are the most basic punctuations that can be used in a sentence to show how the sentence must be read? The most common punctuation marks in English: full stops, questions marks, commas, colons and semicolons, exclamation marks and quotation marks Question 3 Outline six rules of using commas in sentences. 3
