Grammatical mistakes are something which can change the meaning of a sentence.

Proper usage of words, and correct grammar are the essentials for a good write up. In the sentence, ‘Instead of calling her I talked to another friend who is good at listening and feeling my pain’, we can see that although this statement seems correct it can be made prefect if we add the proper word and punctuation mark. It should be, ‘ Instead of calling her, I talked to one of my friend who is a good listener and empath.’

<u>Talking about the comma rule.</u>

The very first line of the passage should include a comma before a conjunction to separate two complete thoughts.

‘I really thought she loved me but I discovered her grave.’ In this sentence, the student should use a comma before ‘but’ which is a conjunction. By adding comma, it will help to create two totally different thoughts.
