D10, HW#7, Grammar

Commas are ones I have trouble using when writing sentences. On pg. 255 and 266 in the Wadsworth handbook, it tells how to use them correctly with a coordinating conjunction. I did ex. 30.1 and also visited the Purdue Owl website. I visited this website on guidelines for using commas:https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/607/01/
Using Quotation marks also gives me some trouble. It seems to be an easy to use pronounciation, but sometimes it can be a problem when citing an article. I did do good on exercise 33.1 though. I found this website,http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/grammar/g_quote.html, in the Purdue Owl link to be a good source for learning about quotation marks.

Reading these two particular pronounciations helped me understand how to correctly use them when writing papers and when sending e-mails to others. i added quotation marks to one of my work cited paragraphs. The commas are being used a little better now that I read some of the examples in the Wadsworth handbook.
