Punctuation
You can use apostrophes to show that you have omitted (left out) some letters when you are joining words together.
An apostrophe can be used to show that one thing belongs to or is connected to something. This is called a possessive apostrophe.
A semi-colon can be used instead of a full stop between two related sentences. This links them together in a way a full stop doesn't.
Adding a comma can change the meaning of a sentence. Let's eat Albert. = We're going to eat Albert. Let's eat, Albert. = We're eating with Albert.
What's the difference between a hyphen and a dash?
An ellipsis has different purposes and can be very useful in your writing.
Bullet points can be used to: break up complicated information make it easier to read turn it into a list
Brackets can be used to add additional information to a sentence.
Paragraphs are a collection of sentences.
When you are writing, inverted commas or speech marks go before and after direct speech, surrounding what was said.
