Remember: A comma is a tiny rest in the middle. A full stop is a big stop at the end. Both touch the word before them.
Read and answer
Read the story, then answer.
Ravi's shopping listRavi typed a shopping list for Dad: apples bananas grapes pears eggs milk bread. There was no tiny mark between the things, so at the market Ravi read it all in one big breath and ran out of puff! "Let's give this list some tiny rests," said Dad. He drew a dot with a little tail. That mark is a comma. Ravi read the list again, with a tiny breath at each comma. Kiwi the parrot tried a full stop after every thing, and everybody froze at every stop. A comma is a tiny rest in the middle of a sentence. A full stop is a big stop at the very end. Type a comma straight after the word, with no space before it. Then tap the space bar once.
