Introduction

One of the most common mistakes in written English is with punctuation.  When writing, many people often forget to use capital letters, commas and full stops.  This can cause our written English to be confusing for anyone reading it.

Read this sentence with no punctuation and you can see how confusing this can be.

·       My brother achmed has lots of hobbies he plays chess collects watches watches plays and reads books

Try reading the same sentence with the correct punctuation:

·       My brother Achmed has lots of hobbies. He plays chess, collects watches, watches plays and reads books.

Now, the sentence makes sense!
