Question 1:

Hard

When we write a story or a sentence, punctuation helps to give meaning and rhythm to the reading. The comma is used to separate items in a list, or to mark a slight pause. The period indicates the end of an idea or a complete sentence. Thinking about this, imagine that you are writing a story and want to describe a birthday party. What would be the importance of using the comma and the period when describing the order of things that happen at the party? Write a short text explaining when and why you would use comma and period to describe the different parts of the birthday party.

Question 4:

Hard

During the reading of a text, punctuation is essential for the understanding of the ideas presented there. It organizes the sentences, indicates pauses, and separates the parts that make up the text. However, the incorrect use of commas and periods can change the meaning of information or even impair the clarity of the text. In this context, analyze the following excerpt, which deals with the importance of sleep for learning, and identify where the pauses should be made with the appropriate use of commas and periods in order to maintain cohesion and textual coherence: 'Sleep is essential for the consolidation of memory activated during the day. If we do not sleep enough, we may have difficulty retaining what we have learned.'

The comma is used to separate elements of a sentence and the period marks the end of a complete idea. Thinking about this, why is it important to use the comma and the period in a story you are writing? Give an example of a sentence with a comma and another with a period, explaining what changes in the meaning of the sentences with the presence of these punctuation marks.
