3.7 Jaime's diary 01  (Page 2/3)

I thought of so many orphans growing up without a family. Who do they go to when they need help? Who can they talk to when they’re sad? Thinking about orphans made me very sad.

Yes, we are a happy family. Mummy and Daddy care for us and love us very much. Thanks Mom! Thanks Dad! Tomorrow I’ll give you a hug!

Commas

• A comma is used:

- in the middle of a long sentence to show a pause, e.g.

Although it is summer, it rained the whole day.

- in the place of “and ...................... and ......................... and”

I bought carrots, tomatoes, peas, milk and cheese.

- when you talk directly to someone the comma comes after the name, e.g.

Peter, please buy some milk.

• Now rewrite these sentences correctly. Remember capital letter, full stops, question marks and COMMAS.
