Punctuation skills for 6th grade
- Commas after introductory phrases Fix it & Choose the sentence · answer key When a sentence starts with a warm-up phrase, a comma marks where the real sentence begins: After the storm, we raked the yard.
- Commas for direct address Fix it · answer key When a sentence speaks TO someone, their name gets set off with commas: Maya, please close the window. Yes and no take commas too, and tag questions hang on one: didn't you?
- Commas for extra information Fix it · answer key Extra, droppable information rides in the sentence wrapped in commas: My bike, which has a bell, lives on the porch. Lift it out and the sentence still stands.
- Its or it's? Fix it · answer key It's, you're, they're, and who's are contractions: two words in a trench coat. Its, your, their, and whose show belonging. Expand the contraction and see if the sentence survives.
- Punctuating titles of short works Fix it · answer key Short works wear quotation marks: poems, songs, stories, and articles. 'The Raven' is a poem; a whole book would be underlined or set in italics instead.
