Comma category

such as: punctuation rules, vocabulary and grammar. Punctuation rules are causing so many difficulties for students. It is a big challenge for people who are learning English especially if they do not study and review the rules for each case. “There is one particular error that is very common, students quite often are in the habit of running two or more sentences together and joining them with commas”. (Davis) That means that they use a comma instead of a period. In this example, the write have to use a period before students. The following sentence is another instance: I went to the pool, but it was closed, so I went in my car, then I turned the radio on, and then I went to the beach with my friends. This is a long sentence which need a period after closed instead of a comma, capitalize S, another period after on, delete and and capitalize T. On the contrary, in some cases they do not use commas and without them the text do not have pauses. For example; I went to the pool but it were closed so I went to the beach. In this sentence the writer should use a period after closed or a comma. In short, punctuation rules are one of the causes for students to get poor grades. Because of that, learners must review the rules. Students have difficulties learning vocabulary, which is one of the most important parts of the language. It is essential to understand what you read, hear and when you want to talk. Unfortunately, some professors in high school do not take the time to teach it.…

Bruner (1957) suggested four stages of how we categorize new stimuli into already learned categories. Primitive categorization being the first stage. Whereby we perceptually isolate an event or persons characteristic qualities with focus on the analysis of features. Secondly we search for cue in already existing categories that contain similar features, if there is a match then there is a ‘feature overlap’. Inferences are made if there is enough of a feature overlap. Comparable to reaching a…
