punctuation:
apostrophe:
there are three uses of apostrophe
1. For contraction
2. For Possession: asim’s pen, asim’s book.
3. For missing letters:
1. Contraction
Generally we use helping verbs. Don’t
Doesn’t,
It isn’t my pen.
It’s a book.
Cannot, can’t.
Are: Ain’t
2. For possession
e.g.,
ali’s book
note: a word or noun ends on the sound of “s” such as sars, or soas, students,
then we only use ‘ apostrophe, or and not additional s.
thomas’ book. Not thomas’s book.
It can also be used with singular as well as with plural nouns.
Children’s party, teams’ bus.
Are not: ain’t, I am not? Check
Rule of shared possession
If things are under combined posssesion
Asim and ali’s house. It takes apostrophe with the latter noun.
e.g., I am visiting ali and ameer’s house.
If properties are separate.
I went to ali’s and ameer’s house respectively.
Compound noun
e.g., brother in –law, commander in chief, staff officer to president.
Rule is that in compound noun apostrophe is placed at the end of the compound noun.

I visited-governor-general-Punjab’s house.
Mistake when making plural noun
e.g., there are many cat’s, hell noooo! There are many cats.

Note: plural of abbreviations and acronyms
CDs,
In 1980s
Rule: for plural, apostrophe is not used.

3. For missing spellings and ommission
e.g., year 1999
I was born in 1979
Or I was born in ‘79
For omitting 19, we will use apostrophe.
This is the rule of omission.
Or I am goin’ to my home. G is omitted but informally, not in academics.
Mixture:
He is the poet of ‘80s poet.
He is ‘80’s poet. Now date is used as possessive.

One way can be to use conjuncion between them.
I am a pakistani, and I love pakistan.
Another way:
I am a pakistani; I love Pakistan.
Note: to use conjunction, we use comma before them.
Such as and, but, so,
Note:
If we are connecting two sentences, and if there is a moti taazi conjunction
between them, then in that case, we use semi colon before that conjunction
rather than a comma.
e.g., consequently, however,
there was snowfall. All the passengers decided to enjoy.
To connect thtese two,
One way will be:
There was snowfall, and all the passengers decided to enjoy
Another way
Snowfall; all the passengers decided to enjoy.

letter or application. We can write, after writing PS: colon,
then the additional statement.
8. For writing dramas: act 4: scene 4.
Grammatical use of colon:
1. E.g., I bought many things: papers, pens, and pencils.
Without colon, I bought many things like papers, pens, and
pencils.

End of the doc
Feb 22:
Quotation marks:
First use:
For Indirect question
Asim�says,�“I�love�Pakistan.”�
Use 2:
When we seek to lay emphasis on any word in the sentence. Or we want to
taunt or sarcastically say.
This�‘progress’�in�the�developing�countries.�
Declaring�it�a�symbol�of�“progress,”�the�girls�started�to�wear�western�dress.
If we want to emphasis or sarcastically highlight that word, we will place
quotation marks.
Use 3:
When we use a word as a word, or noun.
e.g.,�the�word�“refusal”�has�many�menaings�in�English�dictionary.
Rule 4:
When we use the following things in our sentences.
Title of the books, songs, movies,
I�watched�“Dil�Wale��Dulhania�Ly�Jayen�Gay.”
Rule 4:
A smaller part of a sentence.
I really liked his, “Haye�Rabba�tu�ki�chann�charahaya.”
Note:
Rule 6:
Direct quotation.
When in direct quotation we need to write complete sentence. Then capitalize
first word.
ii. if the quoted sentence is not completed, it will not be capitalzied.
She�told�me�that�I�was�looking�“handsome”�
Note different ways of quotation:
Asim�says,�“I�love�Pakistan.”
“I�love�Pakistan,”�says�asim.
“What�happened?”�she�asked,�
“Hurrah!”�she�said.
“I�love�Pak,”�she�said,��“beceause��it�is�my�country.”
Last rule:
Practice sentence
I love Pakistan she said Pakistan is a very beautiful country
Correct:
“I�love�Pakistan,”�she�said.�“Pakistan�is�a�very�beautiful�country.”
Because her second sentence has no link with the first one.
Both are independent sentences.
Rules of parenthesis small bracket
We use commas for interrpting information.
My brother, who lives in karachi, coming to see me.
We can either do it in this way:
My brother (who lives in Karachi) coming to see me.
I�went�to�my�uncle�Amjad’s�House.
I went to my uncle amjad house (who lives in Lahore).
I need 20 kg (pounds) cake.
Yani kg pounsd main kitnay bantay.
Rule: when to explain something.
Like
The comma (the exercise 2) is often misused
Yani ye rule kahan mentioned tha.
Note: parenthesis is used for additional information in a sentence.
Rules of dash:
It is also used for interrupting information.
Lahore, my favourite city, is full of people.
Another way:
Lahore (My favourite city) is full of people.
Lahore – my favourite city – is full of people.
At the place of colon:
e.g.,
one way:
I did many activities: drove the car, played cricket, and sang songs.
In a dash manner:
I did many things – drove the car, played crikcet, and sang songs.

Baat number 4.

Ali went to school ( for studying.
And

For studying is a phrase here.
Yay group of words hotay hain jo k addition kar daitay hain
magar separately meaning convey nahi kartay.
Whereas
Because wanted to study.
Aisa group of words jis main subject b ho aur wo khud say b
meaning day raha ho. Is called a clause.

He was sitting ( on the wall.
Here on the wall is a phrase.
