 14  Chapter Three, Punctuation, contains all the usual suspects: Periods (including spacing suggestions), Ellipsis marks, Commas, Semicolons, Colons, Question marks, Quotation marks, Parentheses, Apostrophes, Hyphens, and Dashes. The best part about these chapters is that you will find an abundance of examples that you run across every day. Then comes Chapter Four, Capitalization, where you will get your most vexing questions answered, such as which words to capitalize in a title, when to capitalize job titles like president or director, and if it's really true that summer and fall are lowercase. In Chapter Five, Writing Numbers, you will learn when to use numerals and when to write out numbers as well as how to write both fractions and large numbers. Promise not to skip the Quizzes, Pretests, or Mastery Tests in Chapter Six. The more you practice, the more confident you will become. Once you get over any fears about test taking, I think you will find the quizzes both fun and intriguing. You will find the answers in Chapter Seven. Please visit www.Grammarbook.com, where you will find all the quizzes in the book in multiple-choice, interactive format.
