A. Activity

Good morning class.

Everyone, please stand. Good morning Ma'am.

Lead the prayer, Marcus. In the name of the Father...

Again, good morning class.

Before you take your seats kindly arrange your

chairs and pick the pieces of dirt.

How is your day, Max?

It is great Ma'am.
That is great!

I will ask a representative of the section to

come in front and read some sentence
according to how it is written.
Ma'am!
Oh we have a representative come here in front
Rio. Read this poem.
REMINDER TO A CHILD

I see my past on you

Now, that I' am your grandfather
Before i own those time
 Now I am counting
All that i did not do
It is true that the day won’t wait
The light and dark are connected
Now and the day to come will always be
repeated
Those who did not move rocks full of moss
Can you see yourself that i am you before and
now
That i am your grandfather—
Remember the lesson because we had met
The moss will rotten the rocks
Remember this is what they looking in the
future
Now and the day to come is like rolling tire
The one who chased the time will never reach
it
Child sleeping is good in growing up
But if you are always asleep only eye gunt you
will gain

Thank you Rio.

But can I as you a question, do you understand

well the poem, do you feel the poem, what can
you notice about the poem, Rio?
I find it hard to read the poem Ma'am because,
there is no any punctuation marks, I can’t really
understand the poem fuly because I feel like
my interpretation will be wrong because I don't
know whether I am going to pause or not. It is
hard Ma'am to read something and even speak
something without pauses or punctuation
marks.
Very well said Rio.

Yes she is correct, we cannot fully understand

the poem if we can't determine if the poem
already ended, do we need to pause, to breath.
It is really hard. But do anyone wanted to try to
read this poem again? I think there are none.

But if we try to read this second poem by

“Pagpuli" by Victor Dennis T. Nierva, what
will can we notice.

COMING HOME

I will come before dawn

to hear the first crow

of father crocks. So that

they will neither know

not feel my arrival

and that I am already at home.

I will come before the skies

 slowly brighten before

the town rises up from slumber.

I want to be there before the sound

of the radio being switched on

or a newspaper being opened

I will come before the first stir

of my folks and my siblings

and be still not to disturb them

Because what I want is this:

that they wake up as if

I was with them last night

-translated by Victor Dennis T. Nierva

Any volunteer who wants to discuss his/her
observation about this poem, Vanessa?
I think Ma'am this second piece is much more
understandable than the first one. Because it
has punctuation and the organization pf stanzas
are clear. Also I notice that punctuation marks
is much more needed to understand a written
work and even in communication.
Good observation Vanessa!
That is why the lesson that we supposed to
tackle is about punctuation marks or about
the three punctuation marks.
B. Analysis
Today we are going to discuss the three kinds
of punctuation among the different kinds of
punctuations.

Let us see what is the difference and

importance of using punctuations namely:
colon, semicolon, and comma in a sentence.

C. Abstraction

I think we can start our discussion with a

question.

Is anyone has a knowledge about the three

punctuations? Ir even one of the three
punctuation, yes Sarah?
I will just define one punctuation Ma'am.
Comma it is a punctuation mark that is use ti
separate words or group of words in a sentence,
 also it is use if you want to pause or have an
interval in speaking or reading.
Good answer Sarah!

But how about the colon and semicolon it is

okay to define one or if you want you can
define the two, Peter?
Colon is the sign used between the parts of a
numerical expression of time in hours and
minutes or in hours, minutes, and seconds, in a
bibliographical reference, in a ratio where it is
usually read as "to", or in a proportion where it
is usually read as “is to” or when doubled as
“as”. While semicolon is the punctuation
mark ; that is used to separate major parts in a
sentence and to separate items in a series if the
items contain commas.
Wow! Peter you are doing great on your
advance study about this topic.

Well I guess some of you already have a clue

or knowledge about this topic. i hope you
participate in our discussion.

But before we start I tell you a story, I really

find it hard in my high school days wether I am
already going to use the different kinds of
punctuation and which one of them is
appropriate in a sentence.

Now, we will begin our topic for today.

We will just discuss it one-by-one starting from

Colon.

Use a colon to introduce lists, especially after

statements that use such words as these,
namely, the following, or as follows. For
example, can you read it, Ariane?
Friday's test will cover these areas: the colon,
the semicolon, and the comma.

He requested the following: a pencil, a paper,

and an eraser.
As you can see in the first sentence, we used
the word "these" to introduce lists. That is why
we used a colon after we introduce the areas
cover one-by-one.

While in the second sentence we used, what,

Jowelle? We used the word "the following" Ma'am.
Nice, Sarah.

That word gives us the reason to use a colon to

also introduce a list.

Who can give another example using colon, I

want your own composition of sentence, Lay?

These are my favorite colors: pink, black, and

blue.
Very good!
What is the word that we use in the sentence,
Jennilyn?
The word use in the sentence is "these" Ma'am.
Marvelous!

But also we have to know that we don't use

colon to introduce a list if the immediately
follows a verb or a preposition. That is, be sure
the words preceding the colon form a sentence.

For example, The best nominal sources of

protein are soybeans, wheat germ, brewer's
yeast, nuts, seeds, and whole grains.

The list follows the verb "are" and acts as the

sentence's predicate nominative. Don't use a
colon.

Who can read the second example, Lloyd?

My sister likes to decorate her hamburgers with

lettuce, tomato, mustard, ketchup, and relish.
Very well!

The list follows the preposition "with" and acts

as the object of the preposition. Don't use
colon.

Another use of colon is, August?

Use a colon to introduce material that

illustrates, explains, or restates the preceding
material.
The example of this are:

I often wish my parents had had more than one

child: they worry too much about me.

In the sentence the persona is using colon to

explain why he wanted to have a sibling.

The second sentence is, The epidemic grew

ever more serious: now children as well as
adults were being affected.

Why do you think the persona uses a colon

after the sentence The epidemic grew ever
more serious, Love?
It uses colon Ma'am because it illustrates or
explain why the epidemic grew ever morr
serious.

Very well said!

Also, a complete sentence following a colon is

capitalized. For example:

Caution: Do not enter until car has come to

Ma'am why is that the word Caution is a
complete stop.
complete sentence?
It is a complete sentence because, caution is
giving a warning also if a word is giving a
warning it has always a hidden you to complete
a sentence. Is it already clear, Mercy? Yes Ma'am thank you I find it now more clear.

Your welcome Mercy.

Another, we are using colon to introduce a long

or a formal quotation. A formal quotation is
often preceded by such words as this, these, the
following, or as follows.

Can you read the example, Klab?

What is the word use that let us use the colon
in the sentence, Jean?
Mrs. Hoskins asked us to write an essay on the
following African saying: "It is rainy season
that gives wealth."
The word "the following" Ma'am.

Marvelous Jean!

Also as we notice poetry quotations of more

than one line and prose quotations of more than
four or five lines are generally written below
the introductory statement and are indented on
the page.

For example:

In the long poem The Other Pioneers, Roberto

Felix Salazar describes some of the early
settlers of the United States:

Now I must write

Of those of mine who rode these plains

Long years before the Saxon and the Irish

came.

I think thus very easy to understand, do you

agree with me, Lanie?
Yes, Ma'am.
There are other uses of colons

First is, use a colon between the hour and the

minute of the precise time.

Example: 12:30 A.M. 4:00 P.M.

Second is, use a colon between the chapter and

the verse in biblical references.

Example: Genesis 7:20-24 Ruth 1:16-18

The last one is, use a colon after the salutation

of a business letter.

Example: Sir: Dear Ms. Davis:

It is clear now how and when are we using the

punctuation colon, is there are any
clarifications?
None, Ma'am.
I guess we can move on to the second
punctuation the semicolon.
Semicolon is, Rio?

semicolon is the punctuation mark ; that is used

to separate major parts in a sentence and to
separate items in a series if the items contain
commas.
Very good!

Semicolon is use to separate main clauses that

are no joined by comma and a coordinating
conjunction (and, but, or, nor, so, yet, or for).

Who wants to read the example, Joan?

Paul Roberson was a talented singer and actor,
and he was also a famous football player.

Paul Roberson was a talented singer and actor;

he was also a famous football player.

As you can notice the first example uses the

coordinating conjunction which is and that is
why th punctuation used in the sentence is
comma, wile the second sentence do not use
the word and instead it uses the semicolon.

Another we use semicolon to separate main

clauses that are joined by a conjunctive verb
(such as however, therefore, nevertheless,
moreover, furthermore, and subsequently) or
by an expression such as for example or that is.

Can you read the next clue when using comma, In general, a conjunctive adverb or an
Sol? expression such as for example is followed by
a comma.

Thank you, Sol.

Our example for that are Robeson appeared in

many plays and musicals; for example, he
starred in Othello and Porgy and Bess.

Next is, Robenson appeared in Snow Boat in

1928; subsequently, he acted in the films
Jericho and Song of Freedom.

Semicolons and Commas

Use a semicolon to separate the items in a

series when one or more of the items already
contain commas.

Who can read the example, Roxxane?

Some of the powerful African kingdoms tat
flourished before the sixteenth century were
Kush, which dominated the eastern Sudan;
Karanga, which was located around Zimbabwe
in southern Africa; Ghana, Mali, and Songhai,
which successively controlled the Niger River
in West Africa; and Benin, which had its center
in what is now Nigeria.
As you can see, if we use comma in all the
sentence instead of using semicolon, it looks
like it is not good in the eyes while when we
use semicolon at least it has a different
punctuation in the sentence instead of comma
and it is good in the eyes.

Also we use semicolon to separate two main

clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction
when one or both of the clauses already contain
several commas.

Can you read it, Sam?

The rule of Mansa Musa, the Moslem emperor
of the African kingdom of Mali from 1312 to
1337, is remembered for military success, trade
expansion, and Moslrm scholarship; but this
period is probably most noteworthy as a golden
age of peace and prosperity.
Brilliant!

But what can you notice about the sentence,

how does it comes to the point that we have to
use semicolon, Red?
It uses coordinating conjunction which is the
word "and", also it has also many commas
inside the sentence. That is why it comes tp the
point tat we have to use semicolon.

Amazing!

Let us now move on to the last punctuation of

the day which is comma.

As you study the rules for comma usage, keep

in mind that to separate elements means to .
place a comma between two equal elements.
To set off an element means to put a comma
before it and a comma after it. Of course, you
never place a comma at the beginning or the
end of a sentence.

Comma in a Series

We use commas to separate three or more

words, phrases, or clauses in a series.

Example is, Khen?

A chair, a table, a lamp, and a sofa were the
room's only furnishings.

The cat ran into the room, across the floor, and
up the curtain.
Superb!

The two samples has three or more words,

phrases, or clauses in a series that needs to be
separated by comma.

Note: The comma before the and is called the

serial comma. Some authorities do not
recommend it. However, many sentences may
be confusing without it. We recommend that
you always insert the serial comma for clarity.
Example, Raph?

Bob, Joe and Tim are ready.

Thank you.

The sentence is unclear because, it might be

telling Bob that the two people are ready.
While the second example, Del? Bob, Joe, and Tim are ready.

The sentence clearly says that three people are

ready.

When all the items in a series are connected by

conjunctions, no commas are necessary. For
example: I want red or black or orange or
purple.

This sentence uses conjunctions which is or.

Nouns that are used in pairs to express one idea

( thunder and lightning, table and chairs, bread
and butter) are usually considered as single
units and should not be separated by commas.
If such pairs appear with other nouns or groups
of nouns in a series, however, they must be set
off from the other items in the series.

For example, Liya?

My favorite breakfast is toast, bacon and eggs,
and tomato juice.

Fantastic!

Commas and Coordinate adjectives that

precede a noun.

Coordinate adjectives modify a noun equally.

To determine wether adjectives are coordinate,
try to reverse their order or put the word and
between them. If the sentence still sounds
natural, the adjectives are coordinate.

Example, Celine? Popeye is a playful, affectionate, intelligent cat.

Sparkling!

As we can see even if we use and between the

adjectives and reverse them it will not sound
un-naturally, so we can say that the adjectives
is a coordinate adjective.

Don't use a comma between adjectives

preceding a noun if the adjectives sound
unnatural with their order reversed or with and
between them. In general, adjectives that
describe size, shape, age,, and material do not
need to be separated by commas.
Jelani grew up in a small white frame house.
Example and explain, Neil?
The adjectives is describing a size, shape, age,
and material, we do not need to commas to
separate the adjectives.
Excellent!

I think that is very simple, do you agree with

me, Don? Yes, Ma'am.

Commas may be needed between some of the

adjectives before a noun and not between
others.

Example is, I like to read in our bright, cozy

family room.

In the preceding sentence, and would sound

natural between cozy and family.

Commas and Compound sentences

We use comma between the main clauses in a

compound sentence.

Place a comma before a coordinating

conjunction (and, but, or, nor, for, or yet) that
joins two main clauses. Example are, Brit?

I am not going to the concert, for I am too

busy.

Many prospectors searched for years, but

The coordinating conjunction use in the others found gold at once.
sentences are for and but.

Commas and Nonessential elements

Yes, Arlene?
Use commas to set off participles, infinitives,
and their phrases if they are not essential to the
meaning of the sentence. These nonessential
elements are also known as non-restorative
Thank you! elements.

The examples are

She watched, puzzled, as the man in yellow

convertible drove away.

A costumer, complaining loudly, stepped up to

the counter.

Don't set off participles, infinitives, and their

phrases if they are essential to the meaning of
the sentence. Such essential elements are also
known as restrictive elements.

For example, Hannah?

I wanted to go home.

She went to medical school to become a doctor.

The man standing by the door is my dad.

Use commas to set off a nonessential adjective
clause.

A nonessential clause can be considered an

extra clause because it gives optional
information about a noun. Because it is an
extra clause that is not necessary, it is set off by
commas.

Example, Ken?
Atlanta, which is the capital of Georgia, is the
transportation center of the Southeast.

Brilliant!

As you can see the adjective clause which is

the capital of Georgia is nonessential. Because
the sentence can be understand even of we
remove the adjective clause.

Don't set off an essential clause. Because an

essential adjective clause gives necessary
information about a noun, it is needed to
convey the exact meaning of the sentence.

For example, Mark?

People who are afraid of heights don't like to
look down from balconies or terraces.
The adjective clause who arr afraid of heights
is essential. Because it tells which people.

Another example, Laurence?

The paramedics first attended the victims, who
were badly hurt.
This sentence clearly states that the paramedics
first decided which victims urgently needed
help and which victims could wait.

Use comma to set off an appositive if it is not

essential to the meaning of the sentence.

A nonessential appositive can be considered

interesting but optional, extra information; it
calls for commas.

Example is, Jayvee?

Nelson Mandela, the president of South Africa,
was freed from a South African prison in 1990.

My mother lives in Escondido, a town near San

Diego.
A nonessential appositive is sometimes placed
before the noun or pronoun to which it refers.

The example for this is, Daniel? An insurance executive, Charles Ives wrote
music in his spare time.

The appositive, an insurance executive,

precedes the noun it identifies, Charles Ives.

An essential appositive gives necessary

information about a noun and is not set off with
commas.

The example of this is, Jules?

The word fiesta came into English from
Spanish.

The appositive, fiesta, is needed to identify the

word.
Commas with interjections, parenthetical
expression, conjunctive adverbs, and
antithetical phrases.

Use commas to set off the following:

Interjections (such as oh, well, alas, and good

grief)

Example, Russella?

Parenthetical expression (such as in fact, on the

other hand, for example, on the contrary, by the Well, we'd better hit the road.
way, to be exact, and after all)

Example, Mersel?

Conjunctive adverbs (such as however, Last night, on the other hand, we could have
moreover, therefore, and consequently) stayed longer.
Examples are, Elyssa?

Use commas to set off an antithetical phrase. You might want to come with us, however.
An antithetical phrase uses a word such as not
or unlike to qualify what precedes it.

Read the example, Karen.

You, not I, deserve this honor.

Thank you, Karen.
Bicycles, unlike cars, produce no pollution.
Commas with other elements

Set off two or more introductory prepositional

phrases or a single long one.

Example of this is, Angelica?

On the afternoon of the day of the game, we

made a banner.
Three prepositional phrases-On the afternoon,
of the day, and of the game.

Another example

Because of the rather frightening and extremely

unusual circumstances, the king and his
ministers conferred till dawn.

The one long prepositional phrase is Because

of th rather frightening and extremely unusual
circumstances.

You need not set off a single short introductory

prepositional phrase, but it's not wrong to do
so.

Example is, Jezel?

In 1789 John Jay became Chief Justice of the

Marvelous!
Supreme Court of the United States of
The one short introductory prepositional America.
phrase-In 1789 or In 1789, John Jay became
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the
United States of America.

Don't use comma if the introductory

prepositional phrase is immediately followed
by a verb.

Example, Aimee?

Over the mantelpiece hung a pair of crossed

Use commas to set off introductory adverbs swords.
and adverb clauses.

For example

Surprisingly, no one objected to the new

curfew. Surprisingly, is the introductory adverb
that is why we put a comma after the word.
While the next example,

Although I like country music, I did not want

to hear his entire collection just then. The
phrase Although I like country music is the
adverb phrase.

Also use commas to set off internal adverb

clauses that interrupt the flow of a sentence.

Example is, Carlo?

Evan, after he had thought about it awhile,

Thank you Carlo. The internal adverb clause in agreed with our conclusion.
the sentence is after he had thought about it
awhile.

In general, don't set off am adverb clause at the

end of a sentence unless the clause is
parenthetical or the sentence would be misread
without the comma.

Evan agreed with our conclusion after he had

thought about it awhile.

Comma in this sentence is no longer needed

while in the next sentence, who can read,
Ariane?

Those voting against were nine of tje twenty

There is a parenthetical adverb i the sentence councilors, if you must know.
so it needs comma which is if you must know.

The next example is, Jett?

We were just rehearsing the timing for my

In this sentence we need comma to prevent scream, when the bomb exploded.
misreading.

Now, let's move on to the additional uses of

comma.

Use commas to set off a title when it follows a

person's name.
For example, Alicia Wong, M.D., will speak
after Jorge Gonzales, Ph. D., has spoken.

Set off the name of a state or a country when

it's used after the name of a city. Set off the
name of a city when it's used after a street
address. Don't use a comma after the state if it's
followed by a ZIP code.

Example is, Admiel?

Very good, I guess everyone understands it. Anaheim, California, is the home of
In a date, set off the year when it's used with Disneyland.
both the month and the day. Don't use a comma Her address is 9 Lee Road, Nome, AK 99764.
if only the month and the year are given.

Example is, Zairene?

March 17, 2000, was the day I got my driver's

Thank you, next is use commas to set off parts license.
of a reference that direct the reader to the exact
source. We moved to Dallas in September 1999.
Odysseus becomes reunited with his son,
Telemachus, in the Odyssey, Book 6, lines
177-219.

Next is, use commas to set off words or names

in direct address.

Read the example, Zayn.

Thanks Zayn. Next is use commas to set off tag

questions. Nathaniel, do you know where Katie is?

For example, I can order for you, sir, if you like.

You've already seen this movie, haven't you?

We're not going to be ready on time, are we?

Place a comma after the salutation of an

informal letter. Place a comma after the closing
of all letters. In the inside address, place a
comma between the city and state and between
the day and year.

Example is:

90 Sherwood Road

New Bedford, MA 92745

July 6, 2000

Dear Dolores,

Very truly yours,

Misuse of Commas

In general, don't use comma before a

conjunction that connects a compound
predicate or compound subject.

The example of this are and kindly explain why

it is incorrect or correct, Jennilyn?

The incorrect usage of comma is in this

sentence. She started the car, and drove down
the hill. The sentence include a compound
Marvelous! predicate.

Another don't use only comma to join two main The correct sentence should be. She started the
clauses unless they are part of a series of car and drove down the hill.
clauses. Such a sentence punctuated with a
comma alone is called a run-on sentence (or a
comma splice or a comma fault). To join two
clauses correctly, use a coordinating
conjunction with the comma, or use a
semicolon.

Read the example, Leila.

Incorrect: John Wayne worked in Hollywood

for almost fifty years, he made more than 175
films.

Correct: John Wayne worked in Hollywood for

almost fifty years, and he made more than 175

E. Generalization

It seems that you got your brain in gear today,

could anyone sum up our discussion today, Cj.

Our lesson for the day is the use and misuse of

the three punctuations which are: colon,
semicolon, and comma. Comma is a
punctuation mark that is use to separate words
or group of words in a sentence, also it is use if
you want to pause or have an interval in
speaking or reading. Also it has many uses that
is why sometimes we tend to misuse this
punctuation while, Colon is the sign used
between the parts of a numerical expression of
time in hours and minutes or in hours, minutes,
and seconds, in a bibliographical reference, in a
ratio where it is usually read as "to", or in a
proportion where it is usually read as “is to” or
when doubled as “as”. Also it has many
