Hi! How are you?

I am from pakistan. Well you know there are IKLC so I opened this website of punctuation because it was of english. I practice every day on this . So thank you so much that you made this website. So that everyone can learn So love from Pakistan and Yashfa. Thanks again! Bye!

Love your work! Thank you for uploading these useful tools 😀

The resources has helped me a lot. Thank you.

Hello! Thank you for all the resources you have here! I am a Spanish teacher, but this summer I took on the challenge of teaching English. This website is a lifesaver! Thank you!!

I’m glad to help. Thank you for visiting!

On the online quizzes, when they ask you to create your own sentences, there is no way to tell whether or not the sentence was written correctly. Is this a feature that can be added?

That feature is beyond the scope of my abilities at this time. Best wishes!

Are there answer sheets?

Very good worksheets

English is a important language

Tiffany Williams

On the Compound complex worksheet, I believe the students’ answer choices are to read “compound or complex” vs. “simple or complex”…

You are absolutely right. Thanks for reporting this. I have fixed the error(s).

Direct speech contains words that are actually uttered by the speaker and are enclosed in inverted commas known as quotation marks, quotes or speech marks. Working through these printable worksheets on quotation marks in direct speech, you need to place a comma after the introductory reporting clause. The end punctuation marks: ? and !, used with a question or an exclamation respectively, must also be placed before the closing quotation marks. Use these guidelines to rewrite the sentences in this set, and punctuate each of the given sentences with success.

These quotation marks in direct speech worksheets pdfs are ideal for grade 4 and grade 5 kids.
