Correcting Punctuation Worksheet

The learner encounters punctuation and capitalisation errors inside a full personal letter rather than separate sentences. Corrections include sentence beginnings, proper nouns, contractions, possessives, address punctuation, and the closing. Editing connected text requires readers to preserve meaning while noticing conventions across multiple paragraphs. The corrected-letter reference presents the edited passage for review, while public-facing copy avoids repeating the letter's names, locations, brands, or exact content.
