"COMMAS, SEMI-COLONS AND COLONS" "In the German language, we put the comma before the relative pronoun. Does that apply to the English language? What about the semi-colon and colon and their usage? I always seem to get mixed up between German and English punctuation rules. Could you help me in this matter before I lose my mind?" "READING COMPREHENSION" "I am a student of grade 9 and I'm doing my GCSEs. My English is not very bad, but I find a lot of difficulty in doing reading comprehension tests. I read the given text, kind of understand it well, but when I move to the questions, I can't give 'to- the-point' answers. Please help me to improve my reading comprehension problem."
