Answer
How it works
- Read a sentence with a punctuation issue.
- Decide what's missing or wrong before checking.
- See the corrected sentence with a short explanation.
Why it helps
Seeing the rule applied in context, immediately followed by the correction and reasoning, reinforces punctuation rules more effectively than reading a static list of rules alone.
