Suggestions to add ->
1. Apostrophes
They have three uses which are to form possessive nouns, to show the omission of letters, and to specify plurals of numbers, letters, and symbols.
Examples:
To show possession or ownership: Jackie's dress
To show the omission of letters: Have not -> Haven't
To specify plurals of numbers, letters, and symbols: Two A's
2. Periods
These are used to end a sentence.
Example:
Matapos kong magpalit ng damit ay tumungo na ako sa labas.
3. Question Marks
These are used to ask direct questions.
Example:
What did you eat for lunch?
4. Exclamation Marks
These are used to indicate strong emotions.
Example:
Traydor ka!
Magsama kayo ng kabit mo!
5. Commas
These are used to connect phrases or words to form a sentence.
Example:
Due to high demand of disinfectants, supermarkets and stores are running low on stocks.
6. Dashes
To show an afterthought.
Example:
Ahh, kapatid lang naman pala-- teka, ano?!
7. Quotation Marks
These are used to quote sentences, words, speeches and dialogues.
Example:
"Ang ganda ko," wika ni Corlea.
8. Dialogue Tags
Ginagamit ito upang malaman kung sino ang nagsabi ng dialogue. Sa dialogue tag ay kadalasang ginagamit ang mga sumusunod: sabi, sambit, saad, wika, ani, at iba pa. Pinaghihiwalay ang mga salita gamit ang "comma", "question marks" o "exclamation marks". Habang ang kasunod na salita naman ay nagsisimula sa maliit na titik, kung hindi pangalan ang kasunod.
Example:
"Ang cute ko," wika ni Niki.
"Ang hangin naman dito," bulong ni Thena.
9. Action Tags
Hindi katulad sa dialogue tags, "period" ang ginagamit dito. Para malaman na action tag ito, action words dapat ang kasunod dito.
Example:
"Makaligo na nga." Tumayo ako at saka dumiretso sa banyo.
10. Italics
These are used to draw attention to a particular part.
Example:
For two years, she never said 'I love you too'.
11. Ellipsis
These are used to indicate that a sentence is not yet finished. These are also used to suspense the reader about something certain.
Example:
We found the suspect which is...
12. Capital Letters
The examples below are not all.
Example:
Name of a person: Corlea Diamond Hadid
Brand name: Dior
Language: English
