    Maybe you have heard the story about how punctuation saves lives. Clearly, there is a difference between:

    • Let’s eat, Grandma!

    and

    • Let’s eat Grandma!

    In addition to saving lives, using punctuation properly will help your writing be clean and clear and help you build your credibility as a writer.

    The following sections will provide you with an overview of the basic rules regarding punctuation and will give you a chance to practice using the information you have learned.
