Editing - Editing - Punctuation: Mother Jailed

Look at the text below. In some lines, there are some punctuation mistakes and other lines are correct.

If you think a line is correct, write "ok" in the box for that line number. If, however, you think there is a punctuation mistake, write the type of mistake in the box for that line number.

Write either:

"period" (full stop)(.)
"capital" (H, not h - or vice versa)
"comma" (,)
"apostrophe" (')
"speech" (")
"bracket" ("(")

For example:
if you see "Howards car" - write "apostrophe" in the relevant box.
if you see "three apple's" you also need to write "apostrophe" in the relevant box.
