A few sample questions
1. Which sentence uses the correct form of 'their/there/they're'?
Answer: They're going to the store.
'They're' is a contraction of 'they are.' 'Their' shows possession, and 'there' indicates a place.
2. What is the correct way to make the word 'fox' possessive?
Answer: fox's
For singular nouns, add an apostrophe followed by 's' to show possession: the fox's tail.
3. Which sentence is punctuated correctly?
Answer: Let's eat, Grandma!
A comma before a name in direct address is essential — it's the difference between an invitation to dinner and something far worse!
