Small marks make a big difference: a comma can change who is being spoken to.
Use commas to set off the name of the person you are speaking to and the words yes and no at the start of a sentence. Circle the correct sentence.
Titles of long works (books, movies, magazines, newspapers) are written in italics when typed, or underlined when written by hand. Titles of short works (songs, poems, short stories, articles, chapters) go in quotation marks. Choose the right way for each title, then rewrite the last two sentences with quotation marks.
