Exercise 1. Place punctuation marks. Explain their placement graphically.
1. There were books, notebooks, pencils, and pens on the table.
The correct punctuation for this sentence would be:
There were books, notebooks, pencils, and pens on the table.
In this sentence, commas are used to separate the items in a list. The comma before the coordinating conjunction "and" (also known as the serial comma or the Oxford comma) is used to prevent any ambiguity. It helps to clearly separate the last item from the rest, making the meaning of the sentence more clear.
2. Different things, such as books, notebooks, and pens, were lying on the table.
The correct punctuation for this sentence would be:
Different things, such as books, notebooks, and pens, were lying on the table.
In this sentence, commas are again used to separate the items in a list. Additionally, commas are used to set off the phrase "such as books, notebooks, and pens" to indicate that it is giving examples of the different things mentioned earlier in the sentence.
3. Different things, for example books, notebooks, and pencils, were lying on the table.
The correct punctuation for this sentence would be:

The correct punctuation for this sentence would be:

6. Roses, gladiolus, peonies, in short, different flowers were growing in the garden.
The correct punctuation for this sentence would be:

7. After the rain, neither the sea, nor the sky, nor the road could be seen.
The correct punctuation for this sentence would be:
