Reading and Writing:


Punctuation
1. Sharon dedicated her life to dancing she applied to different dance
companies to develop her art.
2. Sharon dedicated her life to dancing. She applied to different dance
companies to develop her art.

The first sentence is a run-on sentence. There is no


proper punctuation between the two independent
clauses. On the other hand, the second sentence is
the correct way of writing the run-on sentence. A
period is used to separate the independent clauses
and turn them into full sentences.
What is punctuation?
Punctuation is a system of symbols
used to give structure to a text. It
guides the reader on how the text
should be read.
Commonly Used Punctuation Marks
.1. Period (.)
a. It indicates a full stop or the end of a statement.
When a statement end with a word or a group of
words enclosed in question marks, the period is placed
within the quotation marks.
Ex: I studied last night.
He is known as “the hat maker.”
b. It is used in some abbreviations.
Ex. a.m , Dr. , etc.
c. It is placed after numerals and letters in outlines
and lists.
Ex:
I. Philippine Literature in English
A. Historical background
B. Well-known authors and their works
1. Poetry
2. Fiction
3. Nonfiction
4. Plays
2. Question mark (?)
a. It ends with a question
Ex: Did you study last night?
b. It ends a question that is part of a sentence.
Ex. “What is your mother’s name?” Kimberly
asked.
c. It indicates uncertainty about a fact.
Ex: Homer (9th or 8th century BCE?) is the Greek
epic poet who presumably wrote The Iliad and The
Odyssey.
3. Exclamation Point (!)
a. It ends a sentence that expresses strong
emotion or an interjection.
Ex: Ouch! That hurts.
b. It replaces the question mark in
interrogative sentences to express strong
emotions.
Ex: Don’t you know who I am!
4. Apostrophe (‘)
a. It is used to indicate the possessive case of nouns
Ex: We went to Carla’s party.
b. It is used in place of the omitted letters in
contractions.
Ex. I am – I’m did not – didn’t I will – I’ll
c. It is used in some expressions like the following:
Ex: For goodness’ sake
A month’s delay
5. Comma (,)
a. Commas are used to separate words or phrases in
a list or series.
Ex: You can see a lion, a tiger, and a bear in the zoo.

b. A comma is used to separate clauses in


sentences.
Ex. I heard about my friend’s problem, so I went to
see him and offer my help.
c. Commas are used to set off words or phrases that
introduce examples or explanations.
Ex: My mother has just met three famous people, namely,
the president, an Olympic gold medalist, and a veteran
actor.
John thought of very good plan to celebrate his
birthday this year, that is, to volunteer as a reader at a
daycare center.

6. Colon (:)
a. It introduces a list.

Ex: The travel package includes the following: airfare, packed


meals, hotel accommodation, and an island tour.

b. It is used to introduce a quotation:

Ex: The post on the door reads: “Please gather at the lobby at 3:00
c. Introduces a clause or a phrase that explains what
comes before it.
Ex: The night was extraordinarily bright: the moon was full, a
hundred stars twinkling, and the bonfire blazing.

7. Semicolon (;)
a. It is used to indicate a stop or break that is more
grounded than a comma but not as strong as a period.
Ex: I never demanded him to come today; he did it anayway.
b. It separates two clauses, one of which is introduced by a
conjuctive adverb or a phrase acting like one.
Ex: The house has been on the market for a year now;
however, no buyer has expressed interest in the property.
c. It separates items in series if they themselves are set off
by commas.
Ex: The theater group is going to perform in San Fernando,
La Union; Vigan City, Ilocos Sur; and Laoag City, Ilocos
Norte.
8. Common dash or em dash (-)
a. It can be used in place of a colon or a semicolon to
connect clauses, the second of which explains or
expands the first clause.
Ex: The couple will not see their loved ones for a while – they
resolved to make their new house in a new country their
second home
b. It can be used in place of a comma before words and
phrases that introduce examples or explanations.
Ex: We are taking the next step in the process – that is, the
taste test.
c. It may introduce a summary statement after a
series of words or phrases.
Ex: A bed, a telephone, a refrigerator, a television –
these are the things you need in your new place.

Reading and Writing:


Capitalization
What is capitalization?
Capitalization is writing the first letter of a word in
uppercase while the rest of the letters of the word
are in lowercase. It helps in deciphering the
meaning of words. If proper nouns are not
capitalized, for instance, their meanings can
change, and this can lead to misunderstanding.
Capitalization Rules

1. Proper nouns
Ex: Maggie, Quezon City, Quipper
2. Proper adjectives
Ex: Philippine, Canadian, Asian
3. Days of the week
Ex: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Sunday
4. Months of the year
Ex: August, September, December
5. Specific course titles
Ex: English 11, Theater 101
6. Kinship names
Ex: Grandma, Dad, Aunt Paz, Uncle Alvin
- It is used in place of personal names and if they are
followed by personal names.
7. Names of historical periods, events, and documents
Ex: the Great Depression, the Renaissance, the
Constitution
- Adjectives, verbs, adverbs, nouns, and pronouns are
capitalized in a title. Do not capitalize conjunctions,
prepositions, and articles, except when they are the first
or last word in a title.
Ex: Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found
There
The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants
8. Writing Sentences
- Capitalize the first word of every sentence whether they
are declarative, interrogative, imperative, or
exclamatory sentences.
Ex: I always eat a piece of fruit every meal.
Have you tried riding a rollercoaster?
Always wear your school uniform and ID.
This theme park is amazing!

Reading and Writing:


The Use of Boldface, Italics,
and Underline
Using word processors, one can
have many ways to emphasize
words in writing: three of those are
the boldface, the italics, and the
underline.
Boldface
The boldface is commonly used on the following:
a. Important words in a sentence or a paragraph.
In the short paragraph, the word being defined is
emphasized by setting it in boldface.
b. News headlines and titles of news and magazine articles.
c. Headings of paragraphs, tables, and charts
Sample heading of a paragraph:
Sample heading of a table:
Sample heading of a chart:
Italics
The italics are frequently used on the following:
a. Titles of books and other long literary texts
b. Foreign words
c. Important words in a sentence or
paragraph
d. Inner thoughts or memory flashbacks in
literary texts
Underline
Before word processors were invented, underlining used to
be the most common form of emphasis for written texts.
Today, the most common underlined text in a paragraph is
a Web address, the location of a website on the internet.
Because it is a hyperlink, the reader can access the website
by clicking on the Web address.
