Answer 13

Which sentence uses punctuation correctly?


A.
After dinner, we will play a board game.







B.
After dinner we will play a board game.







C.
After dinner we will play, a board game.







D.
After, dinner we will play a board game.

Answer 14

It is definitely not D, since the comma is placed incorrectly.
If you read D and C aloud with the pauses, it doesn't sound right at all.
But, if you read A out loud, it sounds right. B just goes too quickly

Answer 15

Yeah A Sounds Right

Answer 16

Therefore, the answer is A.
Before dinner, we will play a board game.
You usually add commas in sentences that state time in the beginning.
Examples:
After lunch, I will see Tiffany.
During my walk, I saw a squirrel.

Answer 20

I think it may be "B'.
The other answer choices pause/don't pause in the wrong places!
The best trick for this is to read each sentence aloud to see if they sound natural :)
