Punctuation skills for 3rd grade
- Commas in Letters Fix it & Choose the sentence · answer key A friendly letter needs two commas: one after the greeting (Dear Grandma,) and one after the closing (Love, Maya).
- Commas in a Series Fix it & Choose the sentence · answer key When you list three or more things, put a comma after each one before the last: hats, mittens, and boots.
- Contractions Choose the word · answer key A contraction squeezes two words into one. The apostrophe sits exactly where letters dropped out: do not becomes don't.
- Quotation Marks in Dialogue Fix it & Choose the sentence · answer key Quotation marks hug the exact words someone says, and the comma stays inside the hug: "Let's go," said Maya.
