Resource summary

English
  1. Punctuation
    1. Full stops come after regular sentences e.g Julian wished he was better at chess.
      1. Question marks come after question e.g Are you going to Shelly's party?
        1. Capital letters come after full stops, if it a noun or if its a name e.g 1 You are my brother. I love you e.g 2 Britain is a cool place e.g 3 Logan Paul is on of the most amazing youtubers
        2. Commas
          1. Commas come in when you are listing something e.g I'd like to see Jane, Phil and Peter after assembly.
          2. Colons and semicolons
            1. The colon basically means 'and', and the semicolon means 'beacuse' and 'but' so if you were to use them in a sentence you are replacing the words they stand for
            2. Brackets / Parentheses
              1. You put brackets when you are adding extra information that is a surbordinate clause *e.g* (that doesn't make sense on its own)
              2. Dashes
                1. Dashes come in when you are starting a new sentence but still relating to the past one e.g The model-an enormous dinosaur skeleton-was a big hit at the museum. it also kind of acts like brakets
                2. Apostrophes
                  1. You would use apostrophes when you are showing possession or joining two words e.g1 that is ruby's phone eg2 You don't (do not) have to do that.
                  2. Phrases and Clauses
                    1. Subordinate clauses are sentences that don't make sense on their own e.g The DVD, *which i bought yesterday*, was actually a VDD (very dusty disc)
                      1. The main clause is just a simple sentence e.g I've ran out of shampoo.
                      2. Connectives
                        1. There are many different types of connectives for instance there is FANBOYS (for, and, nor, but, yet, so). You use them when you are joining two clauses. e.g She remained calm *until* I ran up and down screaming
                        2. Paragraphing
                          1. You are likely to start a new paragraph when you are changing the subject (but it is still relevant to the basic gist)
                            1. TIPTOP: T: Time I: TIme P: pLace T: Topic O:Topic P: Place
                              1. When ever one of these changes you change the paragraph
