Hi, again I need to check my answers.
1. I received about fifty--no,it was more like sixty--calls about the accident.
should I have used the dashes or commas or what?
2. His favorite sports are football, basketball, and swimming, but mine are volleyball, baseball, and boxing.
Should I use a comma between the words "swimming, but" Or a semi colon or colon or a dash or what?
3. "I knew I could count on Aunt Mary's support,"she said. But how could I break the news to my uncle?"
Should Aunt be captalized? Also the word but should that be a small letter or a capital?
4. The general's only response was, "No commet."
Should " no" be a capital?
IMHO (In My Humble Opinion) . . .
IMHO, 1. and 2. are correct as is. 3. has one error: There should be an open quote before the word But. 4. is O.K. except the word comment is misspelled.
Good luck in your studies!
