    Native English speaker here. I have struggled with comma splices for an extremely long time. How come I just found out what run-on sentences are!? I'm an example of why you should pay attention in English class, people.

    Great as the lesson is, I would like to ask: Is a comma always used before a quotation mark rather than a period? For example "The car was stollen," Gerald sighed." vs "The car was stollen." Gerald sighed. Thank you so much for this video, Jennifer! Best regards from Ukraine! Keep it up!

    Great lesson! I get stumped a lot putting my comma AFTER the end quotation. Do you ALWAYS use the comma or punctuation mark inside the quotation marks? For instance, Mary said, “My dog’s name is Rex”. Or is it this way? Mary said, “My dog’s name is Rex.” What if you wrote it this way? Mary said, “My dog’s name is “Rex”. Do you still put period (the punctuation mark) inside the quotation marks? (I got one wrong). Thanks. Kindness, Teresa

    Do we capitalize the first word after a colon? Example: Mary has three pets: a cat, a bird, and a dog. Mary has three pets: A cat, a bird, and a dog.

    Great question! No, we don't capitalize the first word after a colon unless it is a proper noun.

    Are vocatives also necessary when greeting a recipient at the beginning of an e-mail, or do people commonly omit them for stylistic reasons?
