saying, We went to the vehicle. When they know whether their vehicle
is a car or a truck or a golfcart. Why don't they just call it a car?

particularly here in the UK, is worth studying. One guy was let off by a
judge because no one but a cop could possibly have written his statement. As
for vehicle, it's usually "motor vehicle".

and nobody will help me! I'm 12 and need to get this done by monday or I am
in trouble!! thankyou!!
This is the passage:
The children’s parents were very upset when they heard that their offspring
had been caught by a neighbor trying to cut off her young dogs tail with a
carving knife it’s a terrible thing to have done heir father what on earth
possessed you to do something so dreadful it’s the sort of thing we expect
of other peoples children but not of our own we want a little brother said
the children and someone told us that little boys are made of snips and
snails and puppy dogs tails we were going to make one their father explained
that this was a saying it wasn’t really true he said that the puppy had to
be taken to the vets to have the cut on its tail treated and he would have
to foot the substantial bill because of this they wouldn’t be getting the
new jumpers from Marks and Spencer’s they had been promised and you’ll have
to lose two weeks pocket money as well he told them you are lucky that you
aren’t older otherwise she would have reported you to the police and you
might well have been taken to court I think it’s likely that the JPs would
take a stern view of children trying to cut off dogs tails it might have
been acceptable in the 1920s but it certainly isn’t in the 90s the children
were very contrite and assured their father it wouldn’t happen again.

Don't be silly, Rachael. If you can type in a long passage like that with
correct apostrophes and few typos, then you can certainly punctuate it as
well.
Why don't you respond with your own attempt at it -- you'll then get some
good advice.

correctly, but whether you can. Just do the work. And don't
give us that Monday bs. Monday is the New Year holiday. You
have an extra day. The punctuation exercise should take you
all of five minutes.

>This is the passage:
Rachael. If you could punctuate the four lines above, why can't you
punctuate what's below? There is one difference that might apply in a
couple little places, but when you're done with the exercise, you'll
be able to explain it better than I can. By the way, some apostrophes
are missing below also. From my dictionary's entry for "punctuation",
it seems these are not included, but if you fill them in, and make the
required changed in capitalization, it will be good for you.
Unless your teacher is quite a literalist. :)
Maybe it was clear the teacher wanted these things and I'm being too
literalist myself.
