- pages 17-18 T 11/6
- pages 20-21 W 11/7
- page 22 W 11/7
- page 23 Th 11/8
On all worksheets, make yourself identify the comma rule for comma placement. This will help you better absorb and understand the rules.
On the final test, you will ONLY place commas; no rule identification will be required.
