Here are a some important things for everyone to pay attention to:
1. Using “the” and “a” (these are called articles)
2. It is better to use the word “and” to join very short sentences so there are not too many short sentences
3. Technically you can use upper or lower case for a.m. and p.m., They must have period after each letter. Commonly they are used in lower case with a period following each – this is confusing at the end of a sentence so here are the rules:
a. One period at the end of a sentence is enough: example: I woke up at 7 a.m.
b. A question requires a question mark and the a.m./p.m. still require each period. Example: Did you wake up before 8 a.m.?
c. Same with exclamation mark: example: I woke up at 3 a.m.!
4. Phrases require punctuation – usually a comma (,)if there are more than 2 – like a list inside a sentence: I woke up at 9 a.m., brushed my teeth, ate breakfast, and went to work late.
d. In Modern English some people are arguing that we don't need the last comma before "and" but beware! I think it makes the last item clear as a single item. I write a lot and I see many examples where it is absolutely necessary, but rarely examples of when it should not be used. You won't make a mistake if you use a comma when you add a third or greater phrase that says “and” before the last item.

5. Present and Past Tense: Pay attention to words as you learn them, try to memorize the past tense (already happened) version at the same time as you learn the new word. I practice saying each tense in a phrase, out loud, each time I learn a new word. example: past tense for “feel” is “felt”
6. FONT: Normally accepted font for professional papers and letters is ‘New Times Roman’ or ‘Arial’ in ‘12 point’. This is not always the case, but you won’t be wrong using them.
7. I recommend that you write your diary in paragraph form like the question on the test J.
