GTTP Lesson 3

Part l
        Using what you have learned in the past two lessons and this week's lesson, correct the following sentences.

1.  "Could you please turn that music down," Mother groaned.

2.  The police detective said to the reporters, “The criminal responsible for shooting several people is now in custody; he is awaiting trial.”

3.  “Just what direction did she go?” asked Diane's father.

4.  “Momentarily, the Hillbilly Burglar is still at large.”, warned Grandfather.

5.  Did you say you picked up syrup, bread, sugar, lunch meat, and cookies?

Part ll

        Choose five rules from the three lessons so far and show how they apply to your work.

The first sentence I used the question mark rule #10 to determine that the commas and periods always go inside the quotation marks.

The second sentence I used the Semicolon rule #2.  To determine where the semicolon was placed to link related clauses together.

The third sentence I used the question mark rule #3 to determine that a question mark is never followed by a comma when it is between quotation marks.

The fourth sentence I used the quotation marks rule #5 for direct quotes to determine the primary job of quotation marks.

The fifth sentence I used the Quotation mark rule #5, to determine there are no quote marks for indirect speech.
