Week 8: Grammar Task

This week we are going to look at the correct use of commas. We use commas to help split up a sentence and we often put them where we will pause. Read these sentences a loud and think about where you are pausing. Can you add the correct commas in?

1. Looking over the hill Beowulf saw his enemy strolling towards him.
2. Grendel has slimy green sharp and menacing claws.
3. Beowulf’s shield that is made of steel was sure to protect him against evil Grendel.
