Quiz on Comma Usage

Directions: Click on "The paragraph, please!" and a paragraph will appear in the top text-area. Insert the necessary commas. When you are finished, click on "Grammar's Version," which will reveal how we would have punctuated the paragraph. Don't cheat by looking at Grammar's Version first. There are two separate paragraphs in this exercise.

Because we are using Javascript for this exercise, we have capitalized a book's title which would normally appear underlined or in italics.
