Read the following short excerpt of student writing. Use your vocabulary and grammar knowledge to determine which suggestions yo

u would make to improve his or her grammar and word choice.
I really thought she loved me but I discovered her grave betrayal one afternoon. It was easy to figure out because she accidentally sent a text to me that was meant for him. I was confused by the text because it said, "Don't tell Mike." I felt insulted that she thought she could get away with this infidelity. At first I felt very angry bitter and hateful but then, I felt so hopeless and depressed. I longed for her to call me. I thought if I could just hear her pleasing voice, maybe then I would not be filled with such bitterness. Instead of calling her I talked to another friend who is good at listening and feeling my pain. Talking with her makes me feel euphoric. I think I may be on the road to recovery.

Which comma rule does this student need to apply to this passage?

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.

I saw clearly the doom which had been prepared for me, and congratulated myself upon the timely accident by which I had escaped.
NemiM [27]
<span>“By long suffering my nerves had been unstrung, until I trembled at the sound of my own voice . . . .”

His nerves are unstrung, he trembled at the sound of his own voice, this could mean many things however it is  likely he is Saying (or Thinking) things that scare him when snapping back to reality, like a man who was about to commit suicide but then remembers reality and he fears his own mind of what he was thinking.


“Another step before my fall, and the world had seen me no more . . . .”
 sounds cool, but is too vague.

<span>“[T]here was the choice of death with its direst physical agonies, or death with its most hideous moral horrors.” This is close to the first one, he sees how far he is to madness, but is still on the edge and not insane Yet. However it's not as clear as the first one I listed
