Well done for writing your own sentences using apostrophes!
Task
Writing longer lists using commas
Sometimes you use several words to write about each thing in a list.
Example
We ordered two double cheeseburgers, eight chicken nuggets, three strawberry milk shakes and some chips.
You need to put a comma between each thing in a list.
Task
First practise using commas. Fix the sentence below by adding in the commas to the correct places:
I watched a film helped my mum make lunch played with my brother and went to my gran’s for tea.
Now have a go at writing your own sentences. You may like to write about your day and what you have planned or what you have already done.
Miss Jones’ example:
I made a cup of tea, put some washing on, turned on my laptop and sat down on the sofa. I logged on to the school website, read the comments on the blog and happily replied to them.
I look forward to reading your sentences using commas.
