Punctuation

We need to use good punctuation when we're writing. Why? Because good punctuation tells us when one sentence ends and another is beginning. It also tells us whether the sentence is a statement, a question or a command. Punctuation also tells us where to pause when we're reading out loud. Look at the paragraph below. How easy is it to read this paragraph without the punctuation?

I don't have any fun just work straight work from morning to night My work is construction My upbringing is that if you're occupied day and night you don't get into any trouble What do you think about that I like my work Do you like your work Good It's hard to go to work if you don't like it

Now look at the paragraph with the right punctuation. Notice how much easier it is to figure out when one thought ends and another begins. Also notice how punctuation gives the paragraph emotion and feeling.

I don't have any fun. Just work, straight work from morning to night! My work is construction. My upbringing is that if you're occupied day and night, you don't get into any trouble.
