Why do you think it is important to use the correct punctuation

mark in the sentences?
What else?
Yes, all your answers are correct. It is very important to use
correct punctuation mark in sentences to let the readers
understand the intended meaning of the writer.
Incorrect punctuation causes confusion because different
punctuation marks convey different meanings as they have
different functions.
Punctuation marks:
Apostrophes- used to form contractions and possessiveness.
Example: contractions
It’s (It is)
Can’t (Can not) (Varied answers)
We’re (We are)
Now, can you give some more examples of contractions?
You’re right!
Showing possession:
Example: (singular) The boy’s bike was stolen.
(Varied answers)
(plural) The boys’ toys are stored in the box.
Can you add some more sentences like those examples?
Comma- used to separate nonessential information in a
ILOCOS SUR POLYTECHNIC STATE COLLEGE
Tagudin Campus

EL108

sentence.
Examples: Jaime’s first daughter Pia, is an athlete.
The campus’ first building, which was built in 1908, is still
structurally sound.
Quotation Marks- used to indicate direct speech, specific letters
and words translations, and scare quotes or ironical use of words.
Nicknames can also be enclosed in quotation marks.
Examples:
He always spells “obsessed” with four “s’s”
In French, “thank you” is merci.
All periods (.) and commas (,) go inside quotation marks,
except when they are not part of the quoted material.
Example: “Come here,” mother said. “Take a look at this book.”
I’m reading a book called “The Secret Life of Bees”.

Capitalization- used to separate the specific from the general

elements of a sentence. When we capitalized a word, we make it
specific and give it a particular meaning, as opposed to a general
meaning.
Example: “mountain”, a general term referring to any mountain,
and “Mt. Everest”, referring to a particular and specific meaning.
Take a look at this example. This shows the different meanings
that the capitalization of certain words to convey.
ILOCOS SUR POLYTECHNIC STATE COLLEGE

Example: Eloisa wanted to listen to the beach boys. (This

sentence could mean that Eloisa wanted to listen to the boys in
the beach.)
Eloisa wanted to listen to The Beach Boys. (This means that
Eloisa wanted to listen to the band, “The Beach Boys”.

10 rules of capitalization
1. CAPITALIZE THE FIRST WORD OF A SENTENCE
This is one of the easiest, most straightforward rules of
capitalization. Whenever you start a new sentence, capitalize the
first letter of the first word. Simple as that!
2. CAPITALIZE PROPER NOUNS AND NAMES
A proper noun is a specific name for a person, place, or thing.
These types of nouns should always be capitalized, no matter
where they land in a sentence. Proper nouns include but aren’t
limited to: companies, countries, cities, political parties, and
religions.
Names should also be capitalized. That includes first, middle, and
last names.
3. CAPITALIZE THE MAJORITY OF TITLES
Capitalization rules for titles can vary from style guide to style
guide. As a rule of thumb, you should capitalize the first word of a
title, verbs, adjectives, nouns, and of course, proper nouns. This
leaves prepositions, articles, and conjunctions in lowercase.
ILOCOS SUR POLYTECHNIC STATE COLLEGE
Tagudin Campus

EL108

Pro Tip: You should also capitalize someone’s title – like Doctor
or Judge – if you directly address them, even if you leave out
their name.
4. CAPITALIZE EVENTS AND PERIODS
You will need to capitalize periods, eras, and specific events.
However, centuries and century numbers should not be
capitalized.
5. CAPITALIZE “I” AS A PRONOUN
We’re all used to seeing words like iPhone, iPad, and iMac by
now. You don’t have to capitalize the “i” in these words. It would
look strange if you did and wouldn’t be grammatically correct.
However, if the “I” is a pronoun, then it should always be
uppercase.
6. CAPITALIZE ANY LOCATIONS AND DIRECT ADDRESSES
When a direction is part of a name, then you should capitalize it.
For example, South Bend or Northern California. However, if it’s
just a direction and not part of a name, then it shouldn’t be
capitalized, like “turn east at the stop sign.”
7. CAPITALIZE FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS
When you use a word to indicate a family relationship, it should
be capitalized if it’s used as a proper noun. For instance,
“Grandpa” or “Uncle Bob.” However, if you aren’t referring to that
person by name, then it wouldn’t need to be capitalized. For
example, “my grandpa” or “our uncle.”
8. CAPITALIZE MONTHS, HOLIDAYS, AND DAYS
ILOCOS SUR POLYTECHNIC STATE COLLEGE
Tagudin Campus

EL108

The names of months, holidays, and days are considered to be

proper nouns. This means they need to be capitalized.
Knowing this capitalization rule, a lot of people mistakenly
capitalize the names of seasons. But seasons like winter and
summer should NOT be capitalized. They are not categorized as
proper nouns.
9. CAPITALIZE TRADEMARK NAMES
Trademark and brand names are typically seen as proper nouns.
This means you’ll need to capitalize them.
10. DON’T CAPITALIZE AFTER A COLON
The final rule on our list is a little different. This one tells you
when NOT to capitalize. In general, you shouldn’t capitalize the
word following a colon. You aren’t starting a new sentence, so
there’s no need for it.
However, there is an exception to this rule. If the first word
following a colon is a proper noun, then it needs to be capitalized.

Punctuation- can either give emphasis, illustrate the form of

words, phrases and clauses or convey meaning.
Capitalization- gives emphasis and specifies certain words and
phrases.
C. Concluding Activities
Apostrophes are used to form contractions and
possessiveness.

How do we use apostrophe in a sentence or word or phrases?
She’s so beautiful.
Can you give me an example?
Excellent! Let give him silent clap. Apart from the common uses of commas like listing,

dependent clauses from independent clauses, commas
are also used to separate nonessential information in a
sentence.

Quotation marks are used to indicate direct speech,

words' meanings. Lastly, proper capitalization helps writing to
become more effective and clearer.
