Grade 4 Editing Skills Quiz with Answers

📚 Quick Study Guide

• 🔍 Capitalization: Always capitalize the first word of a sentence and proper nouns (names, places, days, months).
• ✍️ Punctuation: Use periods at the end of statements, question marks at the end of questions, and exclamation points for emphasis.
• 📝 Spelling: Double-check your spelling! Use a dictionary or spell checker if you're unsure.
• 📌 Subject-Verb Agreement: Make sure your verbs agree with your subjects. (e.g., He *runs*, They *run*).
• 💬 Commas: Use commas to separate items in a list and before conjunctions (and, but, or, so, yet) in compound sentences.
• 🛑 Apostrophes: Use apostrophes to show possession (e.g., the dog's bone) and in contractions (e.g., can't, won't).
