Punctuation: Comma and Period

Medium

(Originais Teachy 2023) - Question Medium of Spanish

During a Science class, students were challenged to write a short narrative text about an activity involving planting a tree at school. João, one of the students, wrote an enthusiastic text describing the moment the tree was chosen, the hole was dug, and the seedling was planted. However, João forgot to use punctuation correctly in some parts. Read the following excerpt from João's text and, based on punctuation rules, identify where commas should be inserted and where there should be a period so that the sequence of narrated actions makes sense within the grammatical norms of the Portuguese language. Then, classify the suggested pauses for the commas according to the communicative function they perform in João's text.
