• Use commas to set off interrupters. See the Comma Rule #11 Appendix page A-11. Interrupters, such as “you know,” are nonessential.  
• Use a colon after a main clause to introduce a list.  
• Students no longer need to mark #1 subject sentence openers.  

Week 9  

 

“Oh yes benevolent frog!” (Notice that in fairy tales, character’s don’t have great curiosity about such oddities as talking frogs—or, maybe Dorinda was to self-centered to think about any one other than her.  

  

“I’ll gladly do so, with one stipulation the frog responded. “Anything! My dad’ll kill me if I loose that ball, which cost him a Royal Fortune. Its gold you know.  

  

“Well I didn’t know anything of the sort but I do think I could dexterously retrieve it. Here are my terms I’ll bring you the ball if you’ll treat me at your table in the castle let me dine from your very own plate and allow me to dwell one night in the palace”.  

  

Sure thing Dorinda responds hastily perhaps a little to curtly. With that, the frog hops back into the water disappears four a few moments then returns, panting as only frogs can pant with the ball.
