Product description
From the author
Practice four comma uses: introductory words and phrases, tag questions, direct address and appositives. Each worksheet has five supplied sentences to punctuate and five spaces or prompts for writing original sentences.
The eight-page PDF contains four student worksheets and four corresponding answer pages. Some editing items need no comma; answers to the writing prompts will vary.
Use the activity set for a lesson follow-up, homework or a short review. An optional resource available separately is Exit slips.

Teaching tips
Read each whole sentence before adding punctuation; some supplied items need no comma.
For appositives, discuss whether the name or phrase is needed to identify the noun.
Use the writing prompts to explain punctuation choices rather than simply copying the answer pattern.
