Using a Thesaurus May Be Helpful A thesaurus is a word processing feature that allows you to find synonyms (words with similar meanings) for words in a document.

Grammar Rules: Capitalization Capitalize: the first word of a sentence days of the week, months, holidays, and religious days, but not seasons (Examples: You can expect leaves to start changing in October. It’s the beginning of fall.) proper nouns and the pronoun I the name of specific course titles, but not names of school subjects (Examples: I love language arts! I am registering for Ms. Johnson’s English 101 class in the spring.) North, South, East, West when they are in an address, part of a proper noun, and when they refer to specific regions (Examples: I live on East Waverly Street. She made a wrong turn going west.) titles that precede names but not those that follow names (Examples: I met President Bill Clinton yesterday. This is Ms. Rose, vice president of our FBLA chapter.)

Grammar Rules: Subject/verb Agreement A verb must agree with its subject in number and person. The letter S is usually added to a verb to indicate the third person singular. .

Punctuation Spacing Rules Punctuation spacing is the distance on either side of (before or after) a punctuation mark. Space once after a comma and a semicolon.(;) Space twice after a colon (:)and after punctuation at the end of a sentence (period, question mark, and exclamation point) Space once after a period used with initials, titles, and most abbreviations.

Punctuation Spacing Rules Do not space before or after a slash/diagonal, a hyphen, or a dash. Space once before an opening parenthesis; do not space after it. Space once after a closing parenthesis () do not space before it.
