Capitalisation is the practice of writing certain letters as uppercase letters. 
Capitalisation
Rules: 
- Capitalize the pronoun "I."
- Capitalize other pronouns, which are the specific names of people, places, and things.
- Capitalize the first word of a sentence.
- Always start a new sentence with a space and then capitalise the first letter.

Slide 4 - Tekstslide

The Comma is a punctuation mark that is used to indicate a pause or separation in a sentence. It makes a sentence easier to read.
Comma
Rules:
- Use a comma to separate items in a list. For example: "I need to buy milk, bread, and eggs at the store." 

- Use a comma for introductory words or phrases.

Slide 5 - Tekstslide

Examples:
Person vs. Robot
1. "Hello it's great to meet you."
- robot.

"Hello, it's great to meet you." 
- person.

2. "However I'm not sure if I want to go."
- robot.

"However, I'm not sure if I want to go." 
- person


Lists:

I enjoy camping, baking, and sewing.

Their names are Henry, Mika, and Sean.

Slide 6 - Tekstslide

Place the comma:
I bought eggs fish and bread.


Their names are Tommy Zoey and Michelle.


My parents want to get a new dog. However I prefer cats.


Slide 7 - Tekstslide

A run-on sentence is a sentence that has more than one complete thought and incorrect punctuation (too many commas). 
E.g.: The night was cold, my hands were freezing.
-> The night was cold. My hands were freezing.
Run-on Sentences ('Comma Splice')
Rules: 
- Separate complete thoughts (pieces of information) with a period.
-Replace one (or more) comma's with a different punctuation mark. 
A good start is to replace the first comma in a sentence with a period.

Slide 8 - Tekstslide

Examples:
1. I enjoy listening to music, my favourite singers are Harry Styles and Taylor Swift. -> _____.

2. I went to the store, I bought twelve scones, and ate them on the way home. -> _____. 

3. I went camping in the woods with my family, we set up a tent and told stories around the fire, which was fun.->__.

Slide 9 - Tekstslide

Co-ordinating conjunctions are 7 words that help us connect two separate sentences or phrases.
I like cheese. I like cake. -> I like cheese and cake.
Co-ordinating Conjunctions
Rules: 
- Use the F.A.N.B.O.Y.S acronym to remember the 7 co-ordinating conjunctions: For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So.


Slide 10 - Tekstslide

Explanation of F.A.N.B.O.Y.S
For - another word for 'because'.
And - used to link different things or choices of equal importance.
Nor- indicates something that did not happen or is not true. Usually used after the word 'Neither' (both).
But - used to link two separate sentences where the second sentence explains the first.
Or - used to indicate an alternative (different) option. Also used to link two different choices. 
Yet - another word for 'but'. Used to express an outcome.
So - Used to express the reason for an outcome.
