ok comma this is easy period All you have to do comma is replace every single piece of punctuation with the written word period Everything else is exactly the same semicolon except for the fact that you are writing out any and all punctuation peroid This forces you to think more about what punctuation mark goes where period What apostrophe s more is it forces you to think about what you apostrophe reading period The aim is to take the previos person apostrophe s statement comma whatever it may be comma and re punctuate it period Then either continue the statement previously made comma or write your own period Have fun exclemation point

might I just ask why is it you keep saying period question-mark When you say period comma do you mean to say full-stop question-mark
otherwise comma great idea exclamation-mark
