Correct: Mrs. Johnson walks to the park, and she talks about her pugs on the way. Correct: Mrs. Johnson walks talks Correct: Mrs. Johnson walks to the park and talks about her pugs on the way.

Any questions that ask to change from one word to another, think about which PART OF SPEECH the words are to determine which one should be used. Then, ask yourself what this word is modifying in the sentence (noun/pronoun or verb/adjective/adverb). Remember, adjectives modify nouns and pronouns, and adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. intentional  intentionally adjectiveadverb

When using the terms like “Mom” or “Dad” – ask yourself if they could be replaced with another name. If so, use a capital letter. Replace “Mom” with another name: Sara my mom I ate too many cookies and Mom was angry. Replace “Mom” with another name: I ate too many cookies and Sara was angry. When saying “my mom,” you don’t need to capitalize.

LOOK THE WORDS UP IN THE DICTIONARY! If you’re not sure about the spelling of a homonym (words that sound the same but have different spellings and meanings), LOOK THE WORDS UP IN THE DICTIONARY! Examples there – their here – hear where - wear
