Proofreading: Writing Mechanics

Commonly Misspelled Words
There are words in English that can be confusing. Some of these words are the o contractions Look at the next
table:
Commonly Misspelled Words with and without Contractions Equivalent Spelled-Out Words
without Contractions
were we’re we are
your you’re you are
his he’s H\he is
their they’re they are
its it’s it is
 The lessen your confusion, spell out the contracted word and see if it is grammatically correct. For
example, let's look at the sentence "It’s amazing!” Spell out the contracted word "it’s" to "It is amazing,” and
you will see that the sentence is grammatically correct therefore, the word to use should be the contracted word
"it’s” and not "its".
Another example is if you are going to write "We're/Were going home, which would will make the
sentence grammatically correct? Spell it out in your head. "We are going home the one that will make your
sentence grammatically correct, so use “we’re” instead of" "were".
Punctuation Marks
Perhaps the most basic punctuation mark is the period. But it is interesting to note that even with the
basic rule of placing the period at the end of a sentence, many students still forget to follow this rule. Always
remember to complete the thought or the idea in your sentence, and then place a period at the end of it. The only
time a period is not used in a sentence is when you are writing a question or when you are expressing a very
strong idea or feelings (and you use an exclamatory point instead). Thus, a separate discussion about the use of
a period is not included here.
In this module, we shall discuss the comma, the colon, and the semicolon. Using these punctuation
marks effectively will improve your sentence structure and writing style.
Comma Rules
Commas are used because there should be a break or pause in your sentence. Make sure that you know the
reason or the rule for placing a comma. Here are the basic rules in using a comma.
 Use commas to separate items in a series.
I'd like to buy apples, oranges, lemons, and mangoes.
 Use commas to separate independent clauses.
I took the challenge, so you should not be scared to try it too.
 Use a comma after an introductory clause or dependent clause.
Therefore, all things have worked as planned.
 Use commas in direct address.
David, please leave the room.
 Use commas to set off appositives.
Rosemarie, the best aunt ever, sent me a ticket to Canada.
Semicolon Rules
A semicolon adds flavor in your writing style. It cannot always replace a period; however, it can be used to
shorten the gap between two short sentences with parallel thoughts.
The curtain closed; the audience clapped.
 A semicolon is also placed before conjunctions such as "however," "therefore," and "furthermore."
Gerald knows the truth; however, he remained quiet during the entire time of investigation.
 A semicolon is placed in a series when the series contains commas.
I have been to Surrat, Ilocos Norte: Legazpi, Albay; and Mambajao, Camiguin.
Capitalization and Abbreviation
The rules in capitalization and abbreviation are very simple, but you should keep them in mind every
time you write. The basic rule of capitalization is to capitalize the first letter of the first word of every sentence.
You should also capitalize all proper nouns and proper adjectives.
There is no specific rule on how to abbreviate words, and remember that not all words can be
abbreviated. Words that are usually abbreviated are names of places such as countries, streets, and provinces,
units of measurement, and titles. If you are not sure regarding the abbreviation of something, check the
dictionary or the app that you have downloaded earlier.
A4. Application
Instruction: Supply the correct punctuation marks.
1. Eleanor Roosevelt said "Happiness is not a goal it is a by-product"
2. Lookout Debris is falling down
3. Before I arrived they were scrambling to fix the cabin
4. One of my favorite writers is Akutagawa Ryunosuke whose works focused on short stories about trivial
topics but with moral lessons or social commentary
5. "Ms. Mateo can you do this by the afternoon," the manager asked her
IV. Thematic Integration:

Writing is very important in our daily lives because in writing we can express our ideas that we cannot
express verbally. In writing, for us to see if we’re competent enough, we should know how to use correct
punctuation marks for us to express it properly and avoid misinterpretations.
V. Assessment

Instruction: Choose one topic below and make an essay using the rules of subject-verb agreement with proper
punctuation marks.
